It's common to use reverse-domain IDs for your IAP items.

Your app is responsible for displaying the list of items offered.

You can ask the app-store for a list if IDs offered.

So, for example, you might have IAP items with bundle ids of...

com.mydomain.myapp.cash.10
com.mydomain.myapp.cash.50
com.mydomain.myapp.cash.100
com.mydomain.myapp.gear.hat
com.mydomain.myapp.gear.pants
com.mydomain.myapp.gear.sword
com.mydomain.myapp.item.potion.healing
com.mydomain.myapp.item.potion.mana
com.mydomain.myapp.item.ring.protection
com.mydomain.myOtherApp.cash.10
[etc...]

How you display this information to the user is up to you.
