Consumable vs non-consumable

Question

We have two apps connected to each other.

The functionality of app1 is: Users using app1 can share data with app2 users by paying them.

The functionality of app2 is: Users using app2 can access data from app1 by paying and requesting them to share. And we use in-app purchases here. So, please give me confirmation whether to use consumable or non-consumable.

Answer 1

If your users can pay each other multiple times for the same item (think coins, credits, etc.) then use consumable.

If your users would only pay each other once to unlock content forever (photo filters, etc.) then use non-consumable.
