Apple In app purchases

We are implementing an app where we are selling pdf’s at a subscription and the apple app review team
has rejected our submissions as we are not using IAP payments rather we are using stripe as a payment backend.

Is there a way to get around this issue as we have a very tight deadline and this will cause a major hindrance for us

Welcome @iosdev_ncompas,

it really depends on what you are selling. If you are selling PDFs, it would fall under digital content and the following holds:

Apple’s developer terms require their In-App Purchase API be used for digital content, functionality, or services, such as premium content for your app or subscriptions for digital content. Payments made using the In-App Purchase API are processed by Apple and subject to their transaction fees.

But if you are selling physical goods or offer a non-digital service, it would be different:

You can use any of Stripe’s supported payment methods and Apple Pay in your iOS app to sell physical goods (for example, groceries and clothing) or for services your business provides (for example, club memberships and hotel reservations).
