Types of payment forbidden in IOS [closed]

3

What types of payments are strictly forbidden in IOS, I've heard that everyone should use the in-app purchase ... In my case I want to release a free version with limited functionality for the user and if he likes it, he buys the version complete using credit card, I want to add still the possibility of the user to buy items that will be delivered to his house, something like, t-shirts, water bottles etc. For such cases am I required to use the in-app purchase? Or can I receive the card data and process it on a payment gateway?

According to the 11.2 section of App Store Review Guidelines for iOS ( Login Required - You can also read here ) Any application that does not use In-App will be rejected. p>

  

Applications that use a system other than In App Purchase for purchasing content, functionality, or services in an application will be rejected.

In addition, please note that any purchases of real-world goods or services are not permitted under the 11.3 section.

  Apps using IAP to purchase physical goods or goods and services used outside the app will be rejected.

However, according to this response in SOEn you can use third-party services.

  

For example, PayPal Express Checkout for mobile devices works that way.

The summary is simple:

  • You should use In App Purchase (IAP) for purchases of virtual goods, such as extra features or special items and phases in games.
  • You must use a different payment system to purchase real goods, such as shirts, concert tickets, parking payments, and the like that are very common in AppStore applications.

In order to implement the second type of purchase, you must use a gateway of a digital payment company such as PayPal or the Pay.me .
