Things to check prior to applying

Relationship between the in-app purchase review and the verification review

• Even if the in-app purchase review is completed, users can't utilize in-app purchase unless the verification review (review for publishing as a verified MINI App) is approved.
• During the verification review, you can't apply for in-app purchase.
• During the in-app purchase review, you can't apply for the verification review.

In-app purchase review period

• It takes approximately two weeks for LY Corporation to complete its in-app purchase review. You can't specify the completion date of the review in advance. Thank you for your understanding.
• If your application is rejected after the review, it will take a few more days for the re-application and re-review process.
• After your in-app purchase application is approved, you must apply for the verification review. This also has a separate review period.
