In App Purchase for Desktop

Does anyone know of a good In-App purchase framework for desktop applications? I see a lot for mobile, but nothing really to support a generic windows application.

Ideally, we want something which can handle all of the purchases, content management, etc. and all we would have to do is ask the server which in-app items the user has purchased, and then get a url to download the necessary assets to the desktop. If it had a c# api, that would be a plus.

Thanks,
Liron

Windows 8 will be released with a "Windows App Store" that includes a comprehensive payments SDK.

I believe Steam provides a framework for in-game purchasing of downloadable content.

Some desktop games are using Google In-App Payments to monetize by selling virtual goods.

As an example have a look at Bastion:
