## What it is
A native Cordova and Capacitor plugin providing a unified JavaScript API for in-app purchases across iOS, Android, Windows, and web payment providers like Braintree and Stripe. It supports consumables, non-consumables, subscriptions, restore purchases, and receipt validation with a single codebase.

## Use cases
- add in-app purchases to a cordova app
- implement subscriptions in an ionic app
- sell consumable items on ios and android with one codebase
- validate app store and play store receipts
- accept payments via braintree in a capacitor app
- restore previous purchases in a mobile app
- monetize a freemium mobile app

## When to choose
- you build mobile apps with Cordova, Capacitor, or Ionic and need cross-platform in-app purchases
- you want one unified API instead of separate App Store and Google Play billing integrations
- you need subscriptions, consumables, and receipt validation in a hybrid app

## When to avoid
- you build fully native apps with Swift or Kotlin - use the platform billing SDKs directly
- you need payments in a plain web app without Cordova/Capacitor
- you require a permissively-maintained dependency and cannot accept the plugin's commercial support model
