If I offer a paid SaaS service, can I let users register for a new account in my app?

Our app has an account registration feature, based on which apple has rejected our app based on Apps store review guidelines section 11.3 . It says - Apps that link to external mechanisms for purchases or subscriptions to be used in the App, such as a "buy" button that goes to a web site to purchase a digital book, will be rejected.

How should I address their concern and continue to keep our SaaS business model?

Use IAP and let Apple take their 30%.


In-App Purchase forums are here...

Your only alternative is to operate under guideline 11.14. If that fits your model then you can direct users to your website with a 'check us out' button rather than a 'buy' button.
