Hi there! Hmmm not sure how this exactly works. Let me ask a colleague.

I was hesitant on asking this in the dev channel. This also feels like something I should be asking customer support.

Yeah the fees part isn't super relevant but I thought you can't use Stripe for in-app purchases on iOS but I'm not actually positive on that as not an iOS developer.

#

One of my colleagues will know better.

To clarify things a bit, when I mentioned in-app purchases, it was mainly to indicate that we have a merchant account with Apple already

#

Oh that's a bit different

#

So for the domain association file, I believe I could either use the Stripe provided one or one provided straight from Apple.

#

Yeah it sounds like I should be going to customer support now...

#

😅

Do you have a web app?

#

You only need the domain registration with a web app. Otherwise you use your own Apple Merchant ID for native iOS: https://stripe.com/docs/apple-pay#csr

We have both. We don't have Apple Pay on our iOS app but we do allow users to purchase subscriptions through in-app purchases. Our web app is now going to support Apple Pay which raised the question of whom to go through for transaction since we have the option of both Stripe and Apple.

#

My gut tells me if I go through Stripe, I'll get charged per transaction for Stripe which may contain fees indirectly from Apple. If I go through Apple, I may be able to side-step the Stripe fees for Apple Pay transactions and only get hit with the Apple transaction fees. This is just a guess and I wanted to verify 🙂

#

Hopefully that made sense. I'm new to Apple Pay stuff myself and if I'm making some incorrect assumptions, please let me know!'

Yeah I think your gut thoughts are right - I'd imagine if you go straight to Apple to complete transactions in your web app they wouldn't be related to Stripe at all and you wouldn't get those fees, but I'd check with support as well (since fees are a bit out of comfort zone here).

Gotcha, thanks all!

#

FYI,

It looks like Stripe does not charge additional fees from Apple for Apple Pay transactions so I guess now it’s whether Stripe or Apple is cheaper per transaction from my standpoint. Thanks for the guidance all!
