Capacitor IAP: Agent Skill for Store Setup and Testing

Where this fits

You have a Capacitor app ready to monetize, but adding subscriptions means configuring products in App Store Connect and Google Play Console, wiring a purchase plugin, then handling receipts and restores. This skill walks your agent through that full path, from store setup through sandbox testing, so you don't have to shuttle between three documentation sets.

Why agents benefit

• Identifies the correct product types (consumable, non-consumable, subscription) and store configuration steps for each platform.
• Chooses between Capawesome Purchases and RevenueCat using your project context, Capacitor version, and need for cross-platform subscription management.
• Generates a purchase flow with listeners, including unfinished transaction handling and receipt validation on both iOS and Android.
• Produces restore-purchases logic and sandbox/StoreKit test steps, reducing trial-and-error in App Store Connect and Play Console.
• Scopes the implementation so the agent doesn't accidentally mix in Stripe or non-Capacitor mobile instructions.

Practical scenarios

Integrate a subscription paywall into an existing Capacitor fitness app

The agent configures the monthly subscription in both stores, selects a compatible plugin, maps product IDs, and adds the buy/restore flow with entitlement checks.

Add consumable credits to a media app

You need one-time purchases that can be bought again. The skill guides product configuration, consumption reporting, and finishing transactions so users aren't double-charged.

Recover interrupted purchases after an app update

When a user's purchase was pending or interrupted, the agent implements unfinished-transaction handling and receipt validation to restore access gracefully.

Add it to your agent workflow

Install the skill with:

npx skills add capawesome-team/skills --skill capacitor-in-app-purchases

Then ask your agent:

Use the capacitor-in-app-purchases skill to implement a consumable purchase flow for our Capacitor app. Include App Store Connect and Google Play product setup, receipt validation, and restore purchases.

The agent will load the skill's instructions and produce platform-specific steps and code snippets.

Compare before adopting

• Quality signals: README depth, explicit Capacitor version support, and whether the skill addresses both stores and plugin options.
• Maintenance freshness: capawesome-team actively maintains Capacitor tooling, but verify compatibility with your Capacitor version.
• Alternatives: You can combine official Apple/Google docs with RevenueCat's own guidance; a skill saves that research time.
• Workflow fit: If you use agent-driven development and need repeatable IAP setup across apps, this skill is a better fit than context-free prompting.

Why it is worth tracking

The skill has 44 GitHub stars and comes from a recognized Capacitor community team, which is a meaningful maintenance signal. It is worth tracking because in-app purchase setup is both frequent and error-prone, and this skill captures the exact sequence your agent needs to avoid publishing mistakes.
