Hi,
I was planning to release my PWAs in the Microsoft Store.
- It should be alright to have ads in them, right?
- What does not seem to be OK is to have an existing (non MS) subscription system. I was trying to find documentation about how to instead use the Microsoft Store commerce system to add subscriptions to a PWA but could only find information for UWP. Is this even possible for PWAs?
Thanks,
Michael

Yes, you could add ads in your PWA.
Is this even possible for PWAs?
It seems that the PWA are allowed to use WinRT store API to make in-app purchase, you might need to try about this.

The problem with creating my own pricing and payment system is the following:
Maybe this does not apply to PWAs? But the documentation doesn't mention this.

2023-05-30T06:50:46.63+00:00 The document you posted corrected my mistake. Based on the document, it seems that PWA is allowed to use the WinRT Store API. You might need to try to use it from PWA.

2023-05-30T06:53:27.53+00:00 Thank you. My question is, how can I use it inside a PWA? The documentation I find for the Store API is only for UWP.

2023-05-31T09:40:17.57+00:00 Going back to my original question, so is it then possible to use the Store API (or WinRT API) from within a PWA?
I read between your lines that it is possible, I just want to confirm.
