Hello tylerpro,

The In-app purchase MSDN page talks about things you are responsible to provide and what Microsoft is responsible to provide. One of the things you are responsible to provide is the "Buy" button.

So my recommendation is that you debug your code and find out why the button text is showing up as "Download" instead of "Buy".

Feel free to test with the mock in-app purchase api library in your code for Windows Phone 8/Silverlight 8.1. Also for Windows Phone 8.1 Runtime you can find the sample here.

Ultimately, it's your responsibility to present your users with the "Buy" button.

Actually it's Microsoft that provides the button which says either "Download", "Buy" and other words that might appear when trying to make a purchase. So the question remains, which Content Type should one pick to get the "Buy"-button and not violate any possible guidelines/rules? :/
