iOS Question Creditcard payment for online store

[fasilosman]

HI All,
I would like to develop online store app. I have poor idea how to handle the creditcard payments.
Could anyone please explain me how to add payments in online store app.

there is a paypal IOS SDK so i guess Apple allow to use Paypal Payments in your IOS App.
you may need to provide a SandBox Account so they can test the Payment when they review your app!

the question now is if you decide to use Paypal for you payments then you may need to find someone to wrap for you the Paypal SDK to a b4i/b4a lib

Note that you can use WebView to let customers pay with PayPal.

Does it support payment via credit cards

Paypal supports payments via credit card. you don't need to have an account in PayPal to pay with credit cards.

Dont forget that if the item you are selling is not a tangible one , it will probably be rejected as you have to use apple for payment.

what you mean tufanv I Created last week app sell services And Added paypal link And open it though through app.openurl function but the apple rejected it IF I use paypal through webview it will approved or not

app sell services

tangible one

what @tufanv means is that the product needs to be a physical product and not a service for example.

(i am not familiar with the rules of it so i cannot confirm if its true or not!)

So that is IF the product not physical the apple will rejected because that He rejected my app

What service are you selling? Maybe you can use inapp purchase?

 

[azzam223]

I use Design and translation services

yes I know but services cost is not fixed because that I can not use in-app

As I know, if the item is a physical one it is ok to use paypal but if it is a digital item like a service , why would apple allow you to use paypal instead of their own payments service ? They will lose %30 when you use apple. So everyboday can use paypal to avoid %30 apple fee. The rule is clear at guidelines of apple :

Apps may not include buttons, external links, or other calls to action that direct customers to purchasing mechanisms other than IAP.

if you post the rejection message by Apple here , we can understand better the rejection. But what you say doesnt make any sense to me. Anybody can say , my price is not fixed for any service to avoid %30 fee. Apple will probably not accept it. but as i said , post the rejection msg , we can understand better.
