I've been getting that message "The iTunes Store is unable to process purchases at this time" every single time I open an app that was downloaded or purchased from the iTunes store. My software on my phone is up to date on its current version (iOS 11.2.2). So how can I stop that message from coming up every time I open an app???
It fixed for me after I went on app store, logged out of my Apple ID and logged back in. After that the message stopped appearing.
Hope this helped!
There is now an issue shown at Apple - Support - System Status. Check here to see if it has cleared before trying to make purchases again.

For people experiencing this on March 27th 2018 afternoon (after 19:20 UTC) there is an outage that Apple took almost an hour to acknowledge: Apple - Support - System Status
I had that issue today. I signed out of my itunes acct then logged back on and so far that has fixed the problem.
Yes, there is an ongoing issue with the store at this time. Presumably normal service will be resumed as soon as possible. See Apple - Support - System Status for details.

Sure. You could try rebooting your phone to see if it makes a difference but there probably is an issue, at least in your region, that Apple have yet to become aware of, and will fix as soon as possible when they do. Contact - Official Apple Support and let them know.

This would appear to be an issue which is yet to register at Apple - Support - System Status. You're not alone. You can Contact Apple Support to let them know. Typically these get fixed within a few hours.

There appears to be an issue with the App Store that Apple is already aware of. Click the link to check server status that’s in the troubleshooting guide in the first reply.
No, there is a store outage. Most likely you have a setting enabled to check for downloads on your account and keep your device up to date, which will be triggering the message.

I just backed my phone up on the cloud and it fixed it!
This did not help! I am in South Africa and have been having this problem all day. All I want to do is download an app I have previously had on my iPhone device. This makes me never want to purchase Apple products ever again! I am not making a purchase I am trying to downlown an app in which you can make purchases. This is absolutely terrible!
