Most of the app developers we're working with plan to use CardFlight for sales of real world goods/services, which are usually OK within App Store guidelines. The typical use case is where CardFlight is installed on a merchant device and the consumer's card is physically present at the time of purchase. For example:
- An event management and ticketing solution. As part of their event management app for checking guests in, they will give event organizers the ability to seamlessly sell an event ticket from within the app.
- CRM apps looking to handle field sales while keeping the payment and CRM solution integrated.
- Non-profit/fundraising apps looking to take donations on the spot.
- Tablet POS software developers looking for an easy way to integrate payments (without having to do their own hardware SDK integrations, building secure/PCI-compliant payment handling from scratch, processor integration, etc.)
I'm concerned about Apple's stance on this though? Will they allow card payments to bypass their IAP?
