Apple doesn't allow purchases of digital products that don't go through the In App Purchase system and its 30% tax. Physical goods are just fine (hence the Amazon app where you can buy a book, but not a Kindle book).
- BinaryIdiot 11y agoOh yeah you're right. But what if someone adds in a digital item into this mix? I wonder how that would work.

- ilurk 11y agoI wonder if along the line Apple would make it mandatory for all payments, made physically (eg: Apple Pay) or digitally (eg: Stripe), to go through by then. I mean, since they are interested in the payments area, why shouldn't them?

- antaviana 11y agoWe have subscription software for Windows where the number of paying authorized user for a customer account are managed via a web interface. We were thinking about writing an iOS app to let the customer manage her users from an iPhone. Currently users extend their subscription by buying more subscription time via an interface. Could I add an InApp purchase via Stripe at about 2,90% + 30c or because the Windows software is digital (although not consumed by users on iOS, only the user administrator might use iOS) I should then pay Apple a 30%?
