What kind of products typically involve in-app purchases?

In-app purchases are a common feature in software applications, particularly in mobile apps and games. These purchases allow users to buy additional features, content, or virtual goods directly within the app itself after the initial download. Examples include buying extra lives in a game, unlocking premium features in productivity apps, or acquiring special items in a virtual store.

Physical merchandise, real estate transactions, and automobile purchases do not typically involve in-app purchases because they are transactions that occur outside the context of a digital application. They require different purchasing processes, such as in-person sales, contracts, and other formalities that are not facilitated through an app’s in-app purchasing system. Thus, applications designed to enhance user experience or offer additional functionalities within a digital platform are where in-app purchases are most relevant, making software and application enhancements the correct choice.
