You want to accept payment from Apple or Android devices ?

#

yes, we've implemented stripe payment in a react native app, it accepts google pay, apple pay etc.

#

yes and what are the hestiations here ? sorry I'm not sure I udnerstand the main ask here ?

#

I'm not sure if we need to enable in-app purchases in apple store or google play console; in-app purchases take extra 15% tax for purchases available in-app

#

and not only that, they work different, my understanding is, if we need to implement in-ap purchases, we loose stripe as payment mechanism and I'd like to avoid that

That strongly depends on your use case, for example for Apple Pay check this:

yes, and my thinking is, we fall under the following line:

or for services your business provides (for example, club memberships and hotel reservations)

#

e.g. we provide an external url they can use / share with whoever they want, it's not linked to the app

#

but after that, I get confused on the next line:

Apple’s developer terms require their In-App Purchase API be used for digital “content, functionality, or services,” such as premium content for your app or subscriptions for digital content

which seems very similar to me, as a web url is digital

#

I don't see the similarity in those two services, the first line is a club memberships/hotel reservation and the second is digital content

#

which seems very similar to me, as a web url is digital
What is the service exactly behind that web url ?

prisma geyser Sep 11, 2023, 8:34 AM

#

we offer public property information, the user fills some forms insite our app, we also pull data from other sources, then at the end of it, we provide a unique url with information about a property, e.g. number of rooms, floor area etc.

#

it's a service we provide as a company but it's only usable on the web

#

I'm confused, try to reach out to Apple Pay and double check with them regarding this and see if you are obliged to use Apple ina-pp purchases or you can use Stripe for that. Sorry this is Apple Pay particularity and they only know if they will allow you or not use in-app purchases
