I've got a possibly naive question about DropletPay. I was under the impression that Apple essentially took 30% of all money that flows through an app. Is there an exception for payment / ecommerce apps? Is there a special agreement in place? Is this app a "timebomb" that just hasn't been noticed by apple yet? It's possible that the "30% of all money" is a bit of misinformation; I can't find where Apple's app policies are enumerated. I'd be interested in knowing and I have no doubt someone here has a good idea.

The 30% commission applies to in-app purchases made using the Store Kit framework. Generally, only digital items are sold this way.

Hope this helps
