Support of third party payment methods in B2B apps


Will apple B2B apps support external payment methods instead of In-App purchase? I need to provide upgrades for paid users. The distribution method used is apple-vpp. Since apple takes 30% commission for in-app purchase, I want to know wether we can add third party payments for apps distributed via apple-vpp.


Solution

  • Apple does not allow third party payment integrations if there is no physical exchange of goods or services. If your application only allows some features only after some subscription then the apple is going to reject the application. If you are paying someone in return of any physical goods like shopping applications or in return of some services then the application can user third party payment methods.
