iOS In-App Purchase

On iOS, all consumable digital purchases (top-up, subscription, premium upgrades) use Apple In-App Purchase via StoreKit 2 — required by Apple Guideline 3.1.1.

How it works

  • Tap a paid item → standard Apple purchase sheet appears.
  • Authorize with Face ID / Touch ID / Apple ID password.
  • Apple charges your card / Apple ID balance.
  • Receipt is validated server-side via Apphud; your balance / subscription activates.

Restore purchases

If you reinstall the app or switch devices:

  • App → Settings → Restore Purchases.
  • The app contacts Apple, retrieves all your past purchases, and resyncs your active subscription state.

Silent recovery

On every app start, Akupon silently syncs your Apphud subscription state to your account. If a purchase succeeded on Apple's side but didn't reach our backend at the time (e.g. you lost connection mid-purchase), it is reconciled automatically — no action needed from you.

Idempotency

Each Apple transaction_id is checked against our dedup table before crediting. Reinstalling or restoring will not double-credit your balance.

Refunds

  • iOS refunds are handled by Apple, not by Akupon.
  • Request via reportaproblem.apple.com.
  • Once Apple approves, our backend receives a refund notification and adjusts your balance / subscription accordingly.

Why prices differ from Android / web

Apple charges a commission and applies regional pricing tiers. The IDR/USD price on iOS may differ slightly from the same product on Android or web — the value you receive (points, days of Premium) is identical.
