In-app Purchasing with Phonegap

Question

There’s Phonegap/Cordova plugin to support In-app-purchase on Appstore(iOS) and Google Play(Android), but no way to support Windows Store.
How can we do In-app-purchase with phonegap/cordova for Windows Phone/Windows Store?
Who know if Windows Store supports Javascript Web API to do In-app-purchase ?

Hi fengshuiapps,
If you want to use the WinRT API's directly in your Cordova based app, then all you need to do is to check for window.Windows property and then use the Windows Runtime classes you would normally do from a regular Windows Store/Phone Runtime apps.
For example, this link: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/hh694067.aspx talks about enabling in-app purchase for a Windows Store app which uses the Windows Runtime classes directly.
In your case, you will need to use windows.Windows to access the entire Windows Runtime. There is no "intellisense" for getting the WinRT class information, but you should be able to access the classes at runtime.
Something like this..
if (window.Windows) { // this means you can use the Windows Runtime class information
var license = window.Windows.ApplicationModel.Store.CurrentAppSimulator.licenseInformation;
// you can now access license.expirationDate or license.isActive properties
