In app purchase can we refund the In App purchase

Question

Is there a programatical way in which an In App purchase is refunded back to the user?

I have an application with a certain buyable feature. The user buys it but somehow doesnt like it. Is there any programatical way in which I can make the user get back his spent money?

Answer 1

I don't think it is possible. This is the same as with buying an app from the AppStore - you cannot say that you did not like the app, return it and get your money back. This is one of the reason why there are free lite versions of some apps. This allows users to check the app for free before they buy it. Maybe you could use the same mechanism in your app? Give some content for free and if the users see that it is what the need they could buy more of it.
