You have to replace com.github.electron by the bundle identifier of the application you created with iTunes Connect. < key > CFBundleIdentifier </ key > < string > com.example.app </ string > Code example ​ Here is an example that shows how to use In-App Purchases in Electron. You'll have to replace the product ids by the identifiers of the products created with iTunes Connect (the identifier of com.example.app.product1 is product1 ). Note that you have to listen to the transactions-updated event as soon as possible in your app. // Main process const { inAppPurchase } = require ( 'electron' ) const PRODUCT_IDS = [ 'id1' , 'id2' ] // Listen for transactions as soon as possible. inAppPurchase . on ( 'transactions-updated' , ( event , transactions ) => { if ( ! Array . isArray ( transactions ) ) { return } // Check each transaction. for ( const transaction of transactions ) { const payment = transaction . payment switch ( transaction . transactionState ) { case 'purchasing' : console . log ( ` Purchasing ${ payment . productIdentifier } ... ` ) break case 'purchased' : { console . log ( ` ${ payment . productIdentifier } purchased. ` ) // Get the receipt url. const receiptURL = inAppPurchase . getReceiptURL ( ) console . log ( ` Receipt URL: ${ receiptURL } ` ) // Submit the receipt file to the server and check if it is valid. // @see https://developer.apple.com/library/content/releasenotes/General/ValidateAppStoreReceipt/Chapters/ValidateRemotely.html // ... // If the receipt is valid, the product is purchased // ... // Finish the transaction. inAppPurchase . finishTransactionByDate ( transaction . transactionDate ) break } case 'failed' : console . log ( ` Failed to purchase ${ payment . productIdentifier } . ` ) // Finish the transaction. inAppPurchase . finishTransactionByDate ( transaction . transactionDate ) break case 'restored' : console . log ( ` The purchase of ${ payment . productIdentifier } has been restored. ` ) break case 'deferred' : console . log ( ` The purchase of ${ payment . productIdentifier } has been deferred. ` ) break default : break } } } ) // Check if the user is allowed to make in-app purchase. if ( ! inAppPurchase . canMakePayments ( ) ) { console . log ( 'The user is not allowed to make in-app purchase.' ) } // Retrieve and display the product descriptions. inAppPurchase . getProducts ( PRODUCT_IDS ) . then ( products => { // Check the parameters. if ( !
