Follow these steps to create In-App Purchases (IAPs) for your app on App Store Connect and make content available for purchase on Apple platforms:

<a href="https://appstoreconnect.apple.com/apps" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Log in to App Store Connect</a> and select your app.

Click on the In-App Purchases menu option under the Monetization heading:

Click on the Create button to create a new IAP.

Enter the following IAP info in the pop-up menu that appears:

1. Type
 1. The options are Consumable and Non-Consumable. Non-Consumable will likely be the relevant option when it comes to video content. Apple explains the difference as follows: You can create a consumable or non-consumable in-app purchase. Consumables, such as lives or gems in a game, are depleted as they’re used and can be purchased again. Non-consumables, such as photo filters or cosmetic items, are purchased once and don’t expire.
2. Reference Name
 1. An internal name for the product. Apple explains this field as follows: The reference name will be used on App Store Connect and in Sales and Trends reports. It won't be displayed on the App Store. The name can't be longer than 64 characters.

1. Product ID
 1. A unique ID for the product. Apple explains this field as follows: A unique alphanumeric ID that is used for reporting. After you use a Product ID for one product, it can’t be used again, even if the product is deleted. 
 2. After filling out this field, note the value that you entered. You will need to enter this in the Viewcastle Admin Portal in a later step.

You should now be taken to a new screen showing the details of the newly-created IAP. This screen allows you to configure the following options (fields with an asterisk are required):

1. Family Sharing*
 1. Enabling Family Sharing allows the user's family members to access the IAPs content without paying for the IAP again.
2. Availability*
 1. Choose which countries will have this IAP available to them.
3. Price Schedule*
 1. Set the base currency and price for the IAP.
4. Tax Category*
 1. This can usually be left as the default option.
5. App Store Localization*
 1. Allows you to configure how the IAP will be displayed to the user in the app's listing in the App Store. You can create separate entries for each language.
6. App Store Promotion
 1. Allows you to upload a 1024x1024 image that promotes the IAP in the app's listing in the App Store. Learn more about promoting IAPs <a href="https://developer.apple.com/app-store/promoting-in-app-purchases/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a>.
7. Review Information
 1. Allows you to upload a supplemental screenshot and description of the IAP to better assist the reviewer when the app is submitted to Apple for review.

Press the Save button at the top of this page to finish setting up the IAP.

Note: The app must be resubmitted for review for the IAP to become available to users.
