My mobile app is a business app and is an "extension" of my web app. Both the web and the mobile apps require paid-subscription to unlock certain features. I know that Apple wants all subscriptions in my mobile app to go through them and I am NOT allowed to provide a link to my web app which also allows users to subscribe. I want to better understand if I can run a "Web Special" for users to subscribe through my web app? I still would NOT provide a link to my web app but I'd like to mention these specials in my mobile app so that users are aware of them.

My new app has certain features that require auto-renewing subscriptions. I set up my subscription and set its pricing on AppStore Connect. I also want to offer a promotional offer which discounts the monthly subscription fee. I also set this up on AppStore Connect. When I test the app on my iPhone, the subscription prices comes up at full price and not discounted promotional price. Is there anything special I need to do for promotional price to apply? Do I need to use "Introductory Offers" instead? I thought "Promotional Offer" was the right one for me because it applies to all new users for a set period. The introductory offers seem to have a set start/end dates.

Hi, This question is for those developers who have their app as both an iOS and web app and the question is about handling scenarios where an existing web user is modifying his/her subscription through the iOS app. Here's the scenario: The user originally signed up through the web app. He then wants to add additional subscription licenses through the iOS app. We process subscription payments through Stripe so when the user originally signed up for his subscription, we created and processed his subscription payment through Stripe. Now, he logs into the iOS app and adds two more subscription licenses. From a user experience stand-point, it would make sense to process this change through Stripe so that the user doesn't end up with two separate items in his credit card statement. And even the charges in his statement may appear differently and may be hard for him to identify them. In this scenario, our concern is unintentionally violating our agreement with Apple because it looks as if we're trying to avoid paying Apple its commissions. What's the proper way to handle this scenario? The opposite scenario is also interesting where the original subscription is done through the iOS app and we handle the payment through Apple and then the user adds more licenses to his subscription through the web app. Again from a user experience stand point, we'd have to stick with Apple to handle additional fees. I just want to understand the proper way to handle these scenarios so that we don't end up creating issues with Apple. Thanks, Sam
