Do Progressive Web Apps support in-app purchases?

Yes, Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) do support in-app purchases. Although PWAs are built using web technologies and are accessed through a web browser, they can provide a native-like app experience, including the ability to make in-app purchases. The Payment Request API is utilized in PWAs to enable in-app purchases. This API allows users to securely make payments using stored payment information and supported payment platforms. By integrating the Payment Request API, PWAs can offer a streamlined payment process to users, similar to native mobile apps. In addition to the Payment Request API, PWAs can also leverage various app stores and payment gateways to handle in-app purchases. This means businesses can take advantage of existing infrastructure and payment platforms to facilitate in-app purchases. By supporting in-app purchases, PWAs open up a new revenue stream for businesses. They can sell digital products, subscriptions, or even physical goods through their apps. This enables businesses to monetize their apps and offer a seamless shopping experience to their users.
