android - Google Play/App Store in-app purchase policies -


i heard on app store, sell or user buys, apple must have 30% on it. imply if open web page within app , accept donation, apple must have percentage. otherwise have redirect user make donation outside of app - instance, calling browser.

so, if it's true, wanted know if google holds same policies. couldn't find specific answer in documentation, info in-app purchase (but i'm considering scenario purchase within app, not in app (sorry if sounds confusing).

taking groupon example. if buy coupon, "in-app purchase"? don't believe google take 30% on buy there, wanted make sure according rules.

the app i'm working on have both donation , coupon purchase sponsors (walgreens, etc). ok if through webview, or have call browser?

sorry if concept of "in-app purchase" blurred.

any information on topic appreciated.

edit:

from understanding, in-app purchase (for both google , apple) api use process these payments. find confusing that, instance, in apple's in-app purchase guidelines: apple policies so, mean cannot use apple's in-app purchase sell book (but open e-commerce site in app , sell it), or cannot sell book @ inside app? know may sound dumb question, doesn't seem clear me.

the standard 30% transaction fee applies in-app transactions on google play , goes distribution partner , operating fees.

according google play developer program policies:

in-app purchases:

  • developers offering virtual goods or currencies within game downloaded google play must use google play's in-app billing service method of payment.
  • developers offering additional content, services or functionality within category of app downloaded google play must use google play's in-app billing service method of payment, except: >

    • where payment physical goods or services (e.g., buying movie tickets, or buying publication price includes hard copy subscription); or
    • where payment digital content or goods may consumed outside of app (e.g., buying songs can played on other music players).

with in-app purchase on ios , os x, can offer customers additional digital content, functionality, services , subscriptions within paid or free app.

for example, in-app purchase allow sell:
