My app is free, but lets users log in with a paid account if they have one. Is this allowed on MAS?

It's been four years since I've submitted a new app to the Mac App Store, so I'm a little hazy about the rules after all this time.

I have a new app that is free to use by itself on your local machine, however I also have a paid subscription service, members of which can login to from the app to access a few additional cloud-based features. If you don't login you're simply not connected to these features.

Is this allowed on the Mac App Store?

Thanks,

Dan

I should add that you cannot actually make any purchases inside the app, you must subscribe on our website.

This should be fine.

Your subscription is by a third party (your website) so Apple won't handle any of the subscription details. There are plenty of apps that do this on the App Store.

Just remember to provide Appple with an account that has full acess to all of the apps features when submitting the app for reivew.

Cheers
