DISTRIBUTION OF TIZEN-BASED WATCH APPS HAS BEEN DISCONTINUED
Samsung In-App Purchase for Galaxy Watch (Tizen)
Samsung In-App Purchase (IAP) for Galaxy Watch is a payment service that makes it possible to sell a variety of items in applications installed on a Galaxy Watch and internally manages communication with supporting IAP services and the Samsung ecosystem (such as Samsung Account, Samsung Checkout, and Samsung Rewards).
In-App items can be offered as consumable, nonconsumable, or subscription. For example, you can use IAP in the following scenarios:
- An application that enables additional features
- Any application that allows the user to remove ads
- A watch face that offers a free version for a specified time period
- An audiobook application that allows the user to purchase and download new books
- A game that offers new levels to play
- An RPG game that allows the user to buy virtual items
Here are two examples:
-
Try and buy watch face
-
Buy an in-app item
