Can I manage in-app purchases outside of the Microsoft Store, meaning using my own payment-gateway like stripe.com?

Yes, based on the Store policy 10.8 Financial Transactions , Non-game in-app products made available on PC devices may either use a secure third-party purchase API or the Microsoft Store in-product purchase API for in-app purchases of digital items or services that are consumed or used within the product.

if yes are there any sample example or article on the same.

No , there is no sample about using third-party purchase API. You need to check the document of these third-party purchase APIs.

If you are using third-party purchase APIs, then this will be an issue that you need to check the third-party purchase API document.

For Microsoft Store in-product purchase API, there is no such function that provides a custom price for every customer. What you could do is that having different add-ons with different prices in the Microsoft Store. Then for different customers, you show the different add-ons.
