Use the plugin cordova-plugin-inapppurchase-fixed instead.

Just in case you are curious why this is. Read the other Open/Closed Bug Reports and Pull Requests to know the reason. So, if need be, you can make your own fork or support other forked versions of this cordova plugin.

Sample References: https://github.com/AlexDisler/cordova-plugin-inapppurchase/pull/207 , https://github.com/AlexDisler/cordova-plugin-inapppurchase/pull/231 , and https://github.com/AlexDisler/cordova-plugin-inapppurchase/pull/208

[Chadori]

But in a nutshell::

This is a compatibility issue for Cordova CLI Version 7.0.0 and Cordova CLI Version 8.0.0. Which is fixed by using the forked plugin instead. Please, close afterwards when fixed.
