Hello all, I am currently in the architecture design phase of a new iOS app. Some of the architectural decisions we're making are based on the Terms and Conditions of the App Store, ie Apple Transaction Fee based on service/product type.
One of the clauses in the Ts and Cs discusses the conditions apps must meet to be able to extend out to a third party merchant to process a sale to a customer. It states that apps that have person-to-person or 1:1 transaction types, like one unique product for each unique customer, are able to utilize web-based credit card processing tech instead of in-app purchases. However, the Ts and Cs state that Apple gets to decide whether or not an app is truly a 1:1 service.
Is there a way for me to find out if Apple will consider my app a a 1:1 service before I fully develop and submit to the store? I'd like to be able to architect the application knowing what Apple will decide in this respect.
Thank you for any guidance or insight you can lend.
Best, Vijay
