## Summary

Unity IAP 5 introduces major architectural refinements, structural changes to initialization, and cleaner product fetching workflows. Plus, it paves the way for advanced ecosystem features on the horizon - including direct payment providers (like Stripe and Coda) and webshops that let you target sales better and keep a greater share of your purchase revenue.

Whether you are migrating from Unity IAP 4 to IAP 5 or setting up mobile in-app purchases in the Unity game engine for the first time, this step-by-step breakdown covers the complete implementation workflow.
