IAP Question

Hi there,


A customer of ours wants us to develop for them several features in their mobile app that we have already implemented in their website:


  • Ability to contact an expert dietist on a videocall with a cost of several € per call.
  • Monthly subscription to several customized sessions to personal trainers, nutritionists, health advice, etc...



My question is, when we want to charge the user for this service, do we need to go throguh the in-app purchase service, or can we do this with another service?

You cannot use IAP since you are selling a real world service.

Hi PBK,

Even if the service is an app feature? I mean the training feature, are videos inside the app (but this videos and features will be available via website too).



Thanks for your fast response.

"Videos inside the app" differ from what you originally described. They would need to be unlocked through IAP. Videos not inside the app but downloaded and read by the app might qualify for a 3.1.3 exemption.
