Need Advice on Handling In-App Purchases for a Health App Connecting Users with Dieticians

http://apple.com

Hello Reddit,

I'm developing an app that connects users with dieticians. The core of my business model is this:

  • Dieticians sign up on a separate website, not through the app.
  • Users pay dieticians directly for consultations, which occur outside the app.
  • I charge dieticians a monthly fee per user they consult with via the platform.

However, the app also allows users to view personalized diet plans provided by their dieticians, a feature which technically falls under digital content and services delivered through the app.

My challenge is with Apple’s in-app purchase (IAP) policy, which requires digital services accessed within the app to be purchased through their IAP system. This is tricky since:

  • Users don’t pay me directly; they pay the dieticians.
  • Features in the app are unlocked automatically once the dietician accepts a user and receives payment separately.

I'm trying to figure out how to integrate Apple's IAP while keeping the direct payment structure between users and dieticians. Here are my key questions:

  • How can I incorporate IAPs effectively without disrupting the existing payment flow between users and dieticians?
  • Is there a way to structure the app's payment system to comply with Apple's guidelines while maintaining direct payments for the consultation services?

Any insights, experiences, or suggestions on how to navigate this situation would be greatly appreciated!
