One of the use cases of the AppCoins Protocol is enabling in-app purchases (IAP) using Blockchain technology and the APPC token.

By putting in-app purchases data in the Blockchain, developers can completely verify and validate purchases done by users in their apps. In addition, developers receive revenue generated from in-app purchases directly, thus avoiding the need for payment processing to be done by banks and by the app store, which means less fees and wait time.

An Android developer can change between two different ways to process an in-app purchase / payment:

  • Base (or EIP681A): an implementation where an App call the AppCoins wallet using a standard URI Protocol Base
  • Extended: include the management of SKUs server side, done in a similar (almost identical) way to Google Play or Amazon billing today Protocol Extended
