In-app purchases (IAP) are transactions made within a mobile or software application to unlock additional content, features, subscriptions, or virtual goods, such as extra levels in a game or premium features in a productivity app. They are a major monetization strategy for app developers and product managers, implemented through platforms like Apple's App Store or Google Play billing systems. Understanding IAP mechanics, pricing, and user psychology is a key skill for mobile app developers, product managers, and game designers.
