Apps that use alternative payment options do not use the App Store’s payment system for digital goods and services. To make a purchase in these apps, you will provide information and confirm your payment directly with the developer, either within the app or on a website linked from the app.

If you create or manage your account on that website, or make any purchases using the developer’s payment system, you will not be using the App Store’s private and secure payment system for digital goods and services. Only purchases made through the App Store’s In-App Purchase system are secured by Apple.

When you create an account on a developer’s external website, you may have to provide personal information, including payment information, directly to the developer or third party partners. You will be trusting the developer, as well as any partners and payment providers they work with, to handle your information based on their privacy and security controls. Apple is not responsible for the privacy or security of transaction made with this developer and cannot verify any pricing or promotions that are offered.

App Store payment features are not available for purchases made on an external website or for in-app purchases which are processed on the developer’s payment system. Your securely stored payment method on file with the App Store will not be used. These purchases will not appear in your App Store purchase history, subscriptions cannot be managed through the App Store, Family Sharing and Ask to Buy will not be available, and purchases will not be automatically restored to new devices. Report a Problem cannot be used for refund requests. The developer, not Apple, is responsible for all transactions and customer care issues.
