How to set up a single In-App Purchase Product having multiple Price Tiers?

I have implemented In-App Purchases in various apps before wherein we can set a price based on a specific Tier for a Product.

Now in this case, the price of the product depends on the number of people. For example, a video will Cost $ 0.99 for >20 students, for >50 students it will be $1.99 ,etc.

So, I thought of making different products for each such case.

Eg:

  • Product1. VideoForUpto20Students for $0.99. (Video course 1)

  • Product2. VideoForUpto50Students for $1.99. (Video course 1)

    So if I implement it in this way then if the number of students increase, then I will have to create more product Identifiers for a same Product.

Again, I have a number of Video Courses approx. 40 ! That means, the total number of product identifiers for 40 Video Courses having 4 different prices will (40 * 4) = 160 product identifiers.

So, do I need to create different product identifiers for the same product to set multiple prices or is there any other alternative ?

Please help! Thanks in advance!

Solution

  • You will have to create different identifiers for every In-App Purchase unfortunately.

    From the accepted answer here In-app purchase custom price:

    As noted by other poster, you cannot have variable in-app purchases. You have to select one of the provided price tiers.

    While you aren't exactly making it so the price is changing a lot (since your idea isn't a delivery service), if it is going to change at all you are going to need to create multiple identifiers.
