WebXR apps packaged as PWAs on the Meta Horizon Store can now use in-app payments, allowing web developers to monetize their experiences.
Meta has permitted WebXR experiences as PWAs to be distributed on Quest's app store, the Meta Horizon Store, using Google's Bubblewrap.
Developers can leverage the Digital Goods API, a web standard for PWAs, to integrate Meta's in-app payments system into their WebXR apps.
While WebXR developers desire easier monetization on the open web, the availability of in-app payments on Meta Horizon Store could enhance the credibility of WebXR as a development pathway.
