App Store: Make in app purchase item free for 1 day

I have an app that is free but contains a in app purchase item that cost 2 dollar. Is it possible to make this in app purchase item free for 1 day? If I make it free will the user purchasing the item just get up 0 dollar when he tries to purchase it?

Unfortunately I misunderstood what was asked by Nissefar. Sorry, Nissefar.

Below is a completely unrelated text (the original). I'll probably delete it eventually.


I'm only writing this as an answer because I don't have enough reputation to comment.

You could use consumables. Make the user buy time to use the item. This requires a backend server for your app, responsible to manage the bought time.

If you really want to disable the purchasing for one day, you can do it as well. When the user buys it, the server is notified, manages what has to manage, and tells all devices the item was bought. All devices disable the possibility to buy the item. Whenever the app starts you ask the server if the item is available or should be set to be bought.

Study a little about In-App Purchases, and you'll know what's the best solution to your undetailed problem. Also, if you don't know how your server can notify all devices, study about push notification.

I know this answer isn't very complex, but your question is very simple. You should have explained better what you want, as well as to all solutions you though and their pros and cons. What have you tried to do already?

I'm not expecting you to aprove this answer, only to improve you question. Detail it a little better, and explain what you've tried and the solutions you've considered.
