Where are purchases linked/saved?
In-app purchases are tied to the user's Apple ID, not to an RHS account. Apple manages and stores the purchase record against that Apple ID.
Do I need an RHS account?
No, users don't need an RHS account or membership to purchase a single issue of The Garden magazine in the app. The purchase is handled entirely through Apple.
Can I access a purchase on both iPhone and iPad
Yes, as long as both devices are signed in with the same Apple ID, they can access their purchases across devices. They'd just need to tap 'Restore Purchases' in the app on their iPad to access any previously brought issues.
Do I lose my purchase if I delete the app?
Even if a user deletes the app, they car restore their purchase after reinstalling. As long as they're signed in with the same Apple ID, they can recover their purchase using the 'Restore Purchases' option within the app.
