Is There a Way to Test In-App Purchases on the Amazon Appstore Without Publishing the App?

Hi everyone,

I’m currently integrating in-app purchases (IAP) into my Android app for the Amazon Appstore, and I wanted to know if there’s a way to test the IAP functionality before actually publishing the app live.

I’ve gone through the documentation, and while I see details on Live App Testing and the SDK, I’m not entirely sure if there’s a “sandbox” environment or any method to simulate purchases without going live.

If anyone has experience with testing IAP on the Amazon Appstore—like whether test accounts are needed or if there’s a specific setup for that—I’d really appreciate your insights.

Thanks in advance!

Hello Sam,

Thanks for posting. We provide two primary tools for testing IAP: App Tester, for local, isolated testing in sandbox mode, and Live App Testing (LAT), for testing your app in a live environment with real testers before making it publicly available.
