I have an App in Appstore that is Free & provides different modules that will be accessible to people who made an Annual Subscription !

MY QUESTION

Is it possible to use my own Payment system like in "Airline Companies Apps" i.e : American Airlines, Ryanair etc...? Those apps have a MasterCard/Visa System !

You should consider familiarizing yourself with the App Store Review Guidelines

Specifically section 11 which outlines Purchasing and Currency in the iOS world. Typically you can't use the users credit card for any digital products that can be used in your App. This is why Kindle, for instance, only let you add books to your wishlist.

Apps like Airbnb and Uber offer physical services which allow them to use the users card.

In Apple's words

11.2 Apps utilizing a system other than the In-App Purchase API (IAP) to purchase content, functionality, or services in an App will be rejected

And if you think you can be clever and direct the user from your App to your site to make the payment, think again

11.3 Apps that link to external mechanisms for purchases or subscriptions to be used in the App, such as a "buy" button that goes to a web site to purchase a digital book, will be rejected

  • Thanks ! I will Find Another Way For Example subscribing users via the Website and then Via Parse Give them the possibility to access different modules ! What do you think ? – Kingofmit May 24 '15 at 12:07

    As long as you don't direct them from the app to your site you can do that:) – Daniel Galasko May 24 '15 at 12:07
  • For Exemple: in my iOs App I give a link to the website that redirect my app to Safari ! Then Via The website the user do the subscription and if the subscription is Done...a Boolean will be created in my Parse.com Server...i.e: YES if the subscription has been done & No for the contraire. And in my app i will call At the login the USER Class (Where the boolean is") and it will give access to the user the different modules ! – Kingofmit May 24 '15 at 12:11
  • Please read my comment above, you cannot direct them from the app to your website to make a purchase. section 11.3 Apps that link to external mechanisms for purchases or subscriptions to be used in the App, such as a "buy" button that goes to a web site to purchase a digital book, will be rejected – Daniel Galasko May 24 '15 at 12:22
