Odoo IAP (In-App Purchase) services do work with the Community edition, but with important caveats.

## What works:

- The `iap` module is included in Odoo Community (it's in the `addons` folder of the core repo).

- The basic IAP framework — account creation, credit management, JSON-RPC calls to external IAP services — all function in Community.

- You can build and consume your own custom IAP services on Community.

## What's limited:

- Several **first-party IAP services** (like SMS, partner autocomplete via Snailmail, lead mining, etc.) are tied to modules that exist only in **Enterprise**. So while the IAP plumbing works, some of the built-in consumers of IAP credits are Enterprise-only.

- The `iap_mail` and `iap_sms` modules, for example, have Enterprise dependencies in newer versions.

## If you want to use IAP in Community:

1. **Check the module dependency tree.** For example, in v17 Community, `sms` module exists but `mass_mailing_sms` is Enterprise. Verify which specific IAP service you need and trace its dependencies.

2. **Building your own IAP service** is fully supported. The pattern is:

    params={'account_token': account.account_token, ...}

)
