Guidelines

Your app is constrained by the guidelines established by Apple and Google Play. The Apple Guidelines are a little more nuanced and up to individual Apple employee's interpretation.

Donations

We have never received any issues so far with including a button that sends users to your donation collection service. 

Guidelines for Goods & Services Consumed Outside of the App 


  • 3.1.3(d) Person-to-Person Services: If your app enables the purchase of realtime person-to-person services between two individuals (for example tutoring students, medical consultations, real estate tours, or fitness training), you may use purchase methods other than in-app purchase to collect those payments. One-to-few and one-to-many realtime services must use in-app purchase.
  • 3.1.3(e) Goods and Services Outside of the App: If your app enables people to purchase physical goods or services that will be consumed outside of the app, you must use purchase methods other than in-app purchase to collect those payments, such as Apple Pay or traditional credit card entry.
