Question

From My Previous question

sending request to apple – from iphone custom application

Here, I have added more specified my question.

Suppose my application has implemented followings.

Lets take an simple example

• I have developed an application, for mobile dealer.
• User can see ten mobile items on screen.
• Now, user selects two items.(mobiles)
• Now, User chooses check out option.
• in check out option, he will provide his apple account – id & password.

---

Above I have explained the process that should be implemented in my application.

Up to 4 stpes I can do programming.
But I have no idea about the last step.

1. Can user make payment through apple
   id – from iPhone?

2. What kind of steps do I/programmer
   have to follow?

3. What kind of accounts do
   I/programmer are required? (If
   any..)

4. What kind of certificates do
   I/programmer are required? (If
   any..)

Let’s take an another example.

Suppose, Application if something like this,

• User can pay for bike (new order) through iPhone – apple id – password ?

Edit :
After a round – round question …

Let’s understand it in single line

Does apple allow to use apple-ID for payment of items other than apple-store? Why ?

Answer 1

StoreKit allows you to sell digital content, such as books, music, ect. and get it delivered right into the application. Payment happens via the iTunes account.

However, you cannot sell physical goods with this mechanism. You may want to consider other payment methods as mentioned by Amuck.
