What's the minimum price for in-app purchases?

Question

Minimum price for an application is 1.49 USD, is it the same for in-app purchases or can we sell cheaper content through the store?

Thanks

Hi Juan,

For this question please see the Price tiers section about half way down.

Thanks,

Hi Joe,

Thanks for your answer. I've already had read this page, that explicitely says: The price tier sets the price of your App.

It doesn't specify a Price range for in-App purchases, so, my question is still the same: what's the price range for the features and content being sold using the in-App purchase feature? (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/hh694067)

Thanks,

Juanma

Hi Juanma,

When you price an in-app purchase, you pick a price tier (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/hh694063.aspx. To answer your specific question, $1.49 is the min price of an in-app purchase via the Windows Store transaction system.  You can also reference details shared here Build talk

Also note, that you can use a Third party commerce/licensing platform for in-app if necessary to have lower priced in-app purchases (as long as it complies with the current PCI Data Security Standard).
