Hi, I tried to get the answer to my questions in the apple guideline website, but it's very confusing and not very clear to understand. I'm building an app where users have to pay an entrance fees to participate into time-limited events. At the end of the each event, the money collected will be given to the winner of the event. (minus our 10% commission fees).
My questions are:
-
Does the fee that the user pay to enter to the event is considered to be an In-app consumable purchase?
-
Does Apple takes a cut of 30% on this entrance fee?
-
Do I have to use Apple Pay or can use a third party service like Stripe.
-
Is there a risk of getting my app refused from the AppStore if I don't use Apple Pay?
My main problem is that in case I have to use Apple Pay, I might have a problem in explaining to the winners of my app's events that I'm removing 40% of the reward (30% for apple and 10% our cut) 🤨.
Thanks for your help.
P.S. I found an app that do something similar and that uses Stripe for their payment : DietBet.
