On the issue of "in-purchase"

Our App is about online video courses, offering virtual coin in-purchase functionality.

However, our courses have physical materials.

So, my question is, do we not have to implement Appled's in-purchase function in this situation, but choose other payment methods instead?

Apple's IAP is for virtual content consumed inside the app and cannot be use for physical items, which must be purchased using other means, outside of the app itself.


See the ASRG's Payments section.


Note this is the incorrect forum for this topic. Might want to move it to theIn-App Purchase forum.

It sounds like you are selling two different products, the digital video course and the supplementary physical items. You cannot use IAP to sell the supplementary physical items. You must use IAP to sell the digital video course. You can give away the digital video course for free and just sell the supplementary physical items.
