Can I manage in-app purchases outside of the Microsoft Store, meaning using my own payment-gateway like stripe.com ?
Yes, based on the Store policy 10.8 Financial Transactions, Non-game in-app products made available on PC devices may either use a secure third-party purchase API or the Microsoft Store in-product purchase API for in-app purchases of digital items or services that are consumed or used within the product.
if yes are there any sample example or article on the same.
No, there is no sample about using third-party purchase API. You need to check the document of these third-party purchase APIs.

If you are using third-party purchase APIs, then this will be an issue that you need to check the third-party purchase API document.
For Microsoft Store in-product purchase API, there is no such function that provides a custom price for every customer. What you could do is that having different add-ons with different prices in the Microsoft Store. Then for different customers, you show the different add-ons.
