In App Purchase for Movie Rental

We are developing an app for Amazon Fire TV that offers rental of Movies, the user rents the movie, then has a time period in which they are able to watch the content before it expires.

On iOS we use a non renewable subscription to achieve this.

I can see that other apps on Amazon offer movie rental which shows this is technically possible, eg. Curzon Home Cinema, but in a previous response (2016) the answer suggests it is not possible: https://forums.developer.amazon.com/questions/50809/inapp-movie-rental-use-case.html

How can we achieve a movie rental in a similar way to the Curzon Home Cinema app using IAP?

Hello Ken,

Thank you for your question.

You should be able to use Consumable IAPs for your customers to unlock the rentals (instead of Subscription IAPs), and then simply add a limited time window for your movie rentals within the app itself.

For further information, please see our IAP documentation:

Thanks,

Mike
