Will the new Metro API support in app purchases? We will be selling an app in the Microsoft Marketplace that requires a monthly subscription. Is there a model for doing this in place?

You can use the Windows Store In App purchase, or your own purchase model — unlike the apple app store, you aren’t mandated to use Microsofts IAP. However, there are restrictions such as being PCI compliant.
A good launching point for understanding the options is the windows store blog:

For auto renew options, your gonna have to use PayPal, or stripe. Stripe appears to be the simplest API to work with.
