How to create an In-App Purchase product?
1. As an iTunes Connect user with an Admin or Technical role, sign in to iTunes Connect (https://itunesconnect.apple.com/)
2. On the iTunes Connect homepage, click My Apps.
3. Select the app you want to enable In-App Purchase for.
If you don't see the app you are looking for on the My Apps page, you can search for the app using a variety of criteria. In the Search box, choose the criteria you want to use to search for an app. The view starts filtering the list of apps as soon as you start typing:
Name. Enter the name or a portion of the name.
Apple ID. Enter the Apple ID of the app. This value must match exactly to return an app.
SKU. Enter the SKU of the app.
If no apps are listed, then the criteria you type match no apps.
4. In the search results, clicking the name of an app opens the App Details page. On the App Details page, click In-App Purchases. This tab is visible only if your iTunes Connect account has an Admin or Technical role and your team agent has agreed to the latest iOS Developer Program or Mac Developer Program license agreement.
5. In the In-App Purchases page, click Create New.
6.In the section for the type of In-App Purchase you want to create, click Select.
The In-App Purchase product type cannot be changed once your In-App Purchase has been created.
7. In the Reference Name field, enter an internal name for the product.
8. For auto-renewable subscriptions, click Add Duration.
For information on designing subscription durations, see Designing Auto-Renewable Subscription Duration Families.
9. In the Product ID field, enter an alphanumeric identifier for the product.
In iTunes Connect, you identify the In-App Purchase product using a string called a product identifier. For example, it.company.app_name.productid. When your app uses Store Kit to communicate with the App Store, it uses product identifiers to retrieve the configuration data you provided for the products. Later, when a user wants to purchase a product, your app identifies the product to be purchased using its product identifier.
Note that product identifiers are unique to the app. For example, you need separate identifiers for products available from the Mac version of an app and for products available from the iOS version of an app.
10 .Specify whether the product is cleared for sale.
Select Yes if you want the product to be available as soon as it is approved by Apple.
Select No if you want to control when the product becomes available.
You can come back to this item at any time to release the product for sale.
11. Choose a price tier.
The price tier determines both the customer price and your proceeds (which is the net price after taxes, where applicable, have been taken out). The Price Tier menu doesn’t appear for free subscriptions.
12. Configure the product display text for at least one language, as described in Displaying Products in More Than One Language.
13. In the Review Notes section, enter information that can help Apple review the product.
14. Upload a screenshot of the product as it appears on the device.
This screenshot is used for Apple’s review only and is not displayed on the App Store.
Screenshots must be at least 640 x 920 pixels and at least 72 dpi.
15. Click Save.
Your In-App Purchase product appears on the app’s In-App Purchases page. If the product is Ready to Submit, the product’s configuration is complete and ready for you to test the product with your app.
IMPORTANT
You can access the In-App Purchase Shared Secret page from inside the In-App Purchases page for an app or from the Ellipsis (…) menu in the upper left corner of the My Apps page. This link is visible if you have at least one auto-renewable subscription set up for any app.
To generate a shared secret key:
1. Open the App Details page for the app with subscriptions.
2. Click In-App Purchases.
3. Click "View or generate a shared secret".
4. In the In-App Purchase Shared Secret page, click Generate.
