Hi everyone,
I’m developing an iOS app for fundraising, similar to platforms like JustGiving. The app will allow multiple charities to register and receive donations directly into their Stripe accounts using Stripe Connect.
Given Apple’s strict guidelines, I want to make sure I address the following:
How can I ensure compliance with App Store guidelines for apps that facilitate donations to multiple charities?
Are there specific requirements for verifying charities or disclosing fundraising information within the app?
Any tips for providing sufficient documentation during the App Store submission to avoid delays or rejection?
I’d really appreciate advice from anyone who has experience with similar projects or navigating Apple’s review process for apps involving fundraising and third-party payments.
Thanks in advance!
Guideline 3.2.1 (vi) already gives a lot of information.
But you have probably noted that it is likely Reviewer will ask you additional information:
Additional information shall be provided to App Review upon request.
If I understand you'll be an intermediary for other charities.
Hence, an absolute requirement is that you get a proof that they have gone through the nonprofit approval process, as explained here : https://developer.apple.com/apple-pay/nonprofits/
Nonprofit platforms that connect donors to other nonprofits must ensure that every nonprofit listed in the app has also gone through the nonprofit approval process
