One-time purchases If you do not wish to offer your applications on a subscription model but want a way to enable on-device purchasing, the API can also process transactions for non-subscription products. Simply pass a product ID that is not setup as a subscription.
Handango recognizes the importance of subscriptions as the mobile industry billing model of the future. Therefore, we have created a proprietary API, called the Handango Mobile Billing API, which allows you to build subscription applications that interface with Handango’s backend for billing and customer management.
The API allows you to:
Create new subscriptions
