It’s important for app developers to understand the difference between Apple Pay and In-App Purchase. Use Apple Pay in your app to sell physical goods like groceries, clothing, and appliances; for services such as club memberships, hotel reservations, and tickets for events; and for donations. Use In-App Purchase in your app to sell virtual goods, such as premium content for your app, and subscriptions for digital content.

You can use any of Stripe's supported payment methods and Apple Pay in your iOS app to sell physical goods (e.g., groceries and clothing) or for services your business provides (e.g., club memberships and hotel reservations). These payments are processed through Stripe and you only need to pay Stripe's processing fee.

Apple's developer terms require that the In-App Purchase API must 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 with a fee of 30% of the total transaction.
