Hi,
We have built a Web App that allows small clubs (such as gymnastics or cheerleading clubs) to manage their members, maintain a small store and allows members to subscribe to and pay for courses, classes and other such in-person events.
We are starting to build an IOs App that will allow Club Members to book and pay for in-person events and buy physical items from a Club's online store (such as uniforms etc.). We would like to use Stripe to take payments from within the app. The app itself will be free.
I want to be sure about the rules around In App purchases, more specifically the fees for taking such payments. If Clubs have to pay Apple's 30% payment fees for In App purchases, it makes payment through the IOs apps not viable.
Can anyone confirm that this app would be allowed to use Stripe for payments and not have to use StoreKit? Also that this app would not be subject to the 30% fees for purchases of in-person events and physical products?
