Can I use apple pay to charge donations for a charity organisation within my app

We have to build an app that allows users make donations to a charity program via Apple Pay. Want to know whether this is possible with Apple Pay. Thanks !

unfortunately not

3.2.2

(iv) Collecting funds within the app for charities and fundraisers. Apps that seek to raise money for such causes must be free on the App Store and may only collect funds outside of the app, such as via Safari or SMS.

Possible, yes. Just as long as you understand the process.


Apple Pay is a transaction based payment mechanism for 'purchases'...not for services, collections, payroll, etc.


People have been able to make donations via credit cards for a while now, so as long as the 'charity' has a c'card payment scheme in place, and has an agreement with a supporting bank that accepts Apple Pay, you can enable it in your app.


In this example, transactions occur outside the app, and the only charge from Apple is between them and the c'card processor, something like 0.1 ~ 0.2 % per transaction.
