Hi, I'm working on an app that acts as a platform to link tourists up with subject matter experts for a specific topic in a specific city. When someone purchases the service, they get a few things. First, they get access to an in-person meeting with the subject matter expert and will schedule the meeting in the app. Second, they get a city guide so they have something like a list of places to go see (view the list in the app). Third, they can message the subject matter expert to ask any follow up questions. Will this app require the use of Apple's In-App Purchasing or an outside service like Stripe?

I greatly appreciate any insight/guidance on this question. I'm worried about spending too much time on it and then getting rejected when submitting it to the app store.

Have you looked over the ASRGs / Business ?

Have you considered moving this to theIn-App Purchase forum, instead?

The 3 part package violates one or another guideline. If you split it up you are ok.

Scheduling the meeting may or may not require using IAP - I think it must use IAP but you could argue it is a real world service.

The services of the real person guide cannot use IAP.

The city map and lists must use IAP.

So you need to split up the offering or give the map and lists and scheduling process away for free.
