3. 1.1 Business: Payments - In-App Purchase Guideline 3.1.1 - Business - Payments - In-App Purchase We noticed that your app or its metadata enables the purchase of content, services, or functionality in the app by means other than the in-app purchase API, which is not appropriate for the App Store. Specifically, your app allows users to access content that is paid outside of the app. The next submission of this app may require a longer review time, and this app will not be eligible for an expedited review until this issue is resolved. Next Steps - Review the In-App Purchase section of the App Store Review Guidelines. - Ensure your app is compliant with all sections of the App Store Review Guidelines and the Terms & Conditions of the Apple Developer Program. - Once your app is fully compliant, resubmit your app for review. If you believe your app is compliant with the App Store Review Guidelines, you may submit an appeal. Alternatively, you may provide additional details about your app by replying directly to this message. In-App Purchase It may be appropriate to revise your app to use the in-app purchase API to provide content purchasing functionality. In-app purchase provides several benefits, including: - The flexibility to support a variety of business models. - Impacting your app ranking by consolidating your sales to one app rather than distributing them across multiple apps. - An effective marketing vehicle to drive additional sales of new content. For information on in-app purchase, please refer to the following documentation: In-App Purchase for Developers In-App Purchase Programming Guide For step-by-step instructions on in-app purchase creation within iTunes Connect, refer to In-App Purchase for Developers.

Can you briefly list the method(s) your app uses for payments, thanks.

App review has rejected you for the following reason:
"Specifically, your app allows users to access content that is paid outside of the app."
That means that App Review believes that your app brings in content or otherwise displays content and allows the user to interact with that content in some way. App Review also assumes that you charge for that content outside of the app. Therefore:
1) if your app does not bring in content from outside the app then tell app review that your app does not bring in any content from outside of the app.
2) if your app does bring in content from outside the app but does not charge for the use or that content then tell app review that you do not charge for the outside content.
3) if you do charge for the outside content or if there are any other charges that the user of your app pays for - then use IAP to collect those charges or follow guideline 3.1.3 posted elsewhere in this thread.
