Other in-app purchase methods

Hello!

One matter of concern we got so far, considering the possibility of other in-app purchase methods. As far as I understood from the “App Store Review Guidelines” we may provide our future users with purchase methods other than in-app purchase, while still having Apple Pay or traditional credit card entry.

So here is the case: 

  • app is to be distributed in Europe and CIS countries

  • app is to be a chat app (kinda chat app for taxi-drivers)

*(according to 3.1.3(e) Goods and Services Outside of the App if applied, we may and must use other purchase methods (!*of course, payment in Russia causes the greatest concern, but now it’s not the question)).

So if we may use other purchase methods, then one more question to arise:

  • Is it OK to  add in-app buttons and options (like links) to pay services, or we only allowed to inform our users about such methods via e-mail?

Heartfelt thanks in advance!
