IOS In App Purchase max quantity

I am developing an IOS app using Cordova. The user can purchase credits that can be used later. I am using In-App Purchase for the credit purchase using cc.fovea.cordova.purchase plugin. In my app user can enter how many credits he wants to buy. Depending on that credit price is set.

Like:

  1. 1-25 credits: $10

  2. 26-50 credits: $8

  3. 50+ credits: $6

I have created different Consumable In-App Purchases in Itunes for each price range. Depending on user input I am sending which IAP to buy and how many quantity. But the problem is I am not able to buy more than 10 quantity at a time [Sandbox].

Is there any solution to buy more than 10 quantity at a time?

Also Is there any alternative to In-App Purchase that can be used to fulfill my requirement.

Thanks in advance

Rather than purchasing multiple instances of a product it is more typical to have multiple products that each are a different quantity. So one product that is 1 credit, another that is 10, another that is 25 etc. – Paulw11
Thanks for your comment. Yes, that's a solution but the problem is that I need to create products for each quantity and it's huge. Also, all price range will not be available on Itunes. – Souvik Saha Choudhury
You typically don’t create each individual value, just selected values. 1,5,10,25,50,100,250 and so on. If someone wants 11 credits then they can buy 10 & 1 or get a better price and buy 25 – Paulw11
In my app, a user can input how many credits he wants to buy. Then I am checking which product belongs to this price range and sending buy request for this product with quantity. – Souvik Saha Choudhury
Ok, but you have to work within the limitations of what IAP lets you do. You can only purchase 10 of an item at a time – Paulw11

As others have mentioned, the maximum quantity for an in-app purchase is ten (10) units. See: Apple Documentation

However, as the developer, you can define what those units are. For example, to achieve something very similar to your preferred pricing strategy, you could define in-app products as follows:

  • Single credit: $9.99
  • 5 credits: $49.99
  • 25 credits: $199.99
  • 50 credits: $299.99

Users can then purchase the number of credits they need while receiving a discount for bulk purchase of credits.
