My team recently implemented In-App Purchases for Non-Renewing Subscriptions and is currently testing in production. We successfully made a purchase from our app but did not receive any callback from the App Store server.
Additionally, the transaction is not visible on the App Store Connect dashboard. I understand it might take a day for transactions to appear there.
When we checked the transaction status via API, the "inAppOwnershipType" is "PURCHASED" and the values for other fields are as expected, except for "price." The price should be 599000, and the charged payment on the credit card is also 599000, but it appears as 599000000 in the transaction data.
Any idea what could be causing this discrepancy, and is it the reason for the unsent callback? How can we fix it?
Thank you.

I work in a company based in Indonesia. Since Apple deduct commission from In-App Purchase transactions, we need tax documentation from Apple to comply with Indonesia's tax regulation.
I've asked Apple Finance Support but only get generic answer.
Whom can I contact regarding this?
Hi all,
Our app has been rejected several times without any clear explanation of what we need to do. The latest rejection reason is as follows:
Guidelines 3.1.1 - In-App Purchase and 3.1.3(c) - Enterprise Services
We noticed in our review that your app offers enterprise services that are sold directly to organizations or groups of employees or students. However, these same services are also available to be sold to single users, consumers, or for family use without using in-app purchase.
When an organization or group buys access to your app's enterprise services, you don't need to use in-app purchase. But when providing access to an individual user, consumer, or for family use, you should use in-app purchase.
To which we responded with:
We would also like to clarify our app and business model:
1) Our app is a free app intended for companies, organizations, and business owners. Individual users can sign up for our app, but with some restrictions. We designed it this way so that users can try our app before registering their company or business.
2) In the previous app version, we enabled users to subscribe and unlock more features within our app using our own mechanism. Hence, the review referred to Guidelines 3.1.1. In this version, we have removed the feature so that users cannot purchase any subscriptions.
Since users cannot purchase anything from our app, we believe Guidelines 3.1.1 should no longer apply for the app review.
But our app is still not approved. Instead, they replied with:
We are not able to provide feedback on app concepts or features, but we recommend evaluating your suggestions against the App Review Guidelines, as well as the Apple Developer Program License Agreement, and the Human Interface Guidelines.
Can anyone enlighten us why does the reviewer still referring to Guidelines 3.1.1 when there isn't anything that user can purchase from our app? And what do they actually want us to do?
