## What it is
MerchantKit is a Swift framework for iOS that simplifies managing In-App Purchases, including one-time purchases, consumables, and auto-renewing subscriptions. It provides a concise API for tracking purchase state, committing purchases, restoring transactions, and formatting localized price strings.

## Use cases
- add a pro tier unlock to an iOS app
- manage auto-renewing subscriptions in Swift
- restore in-app purchase transactions
- check whether a product has been purchased
- format localized subscription price strings
- handle consumable purchases without StoreKit boilerplate

## When to choose
- you are an indie iOS developer adding monetization with a finite set of products
- you want a lightweight StoreKit wrapper with no external dependencies
- you prefer developer convenience over strict receipt-validation security

## When to avoid
- you need strict anti-piracy or server-side receipt validation
- you require a fully stable, guaranteed API (the project is still in flux)
- you target platforms other than iOS
