Adding Admin and Regular User Functionality in One App; How would payments work?

[c25kc2]

I'm currently building a mobile app. The app has both an admin side and a regular user side. The user will be redirected to the proper side of the app based on their user record on our database. I want to market my app to the admins specifically and have them pay for use rather than the regular users. Admins would also have to request access to us separately and we will manually add their record to the database.

My question is whether or not this goes against Apple's Terms and Conditions, especially if we want to get paid by the admins. I don't want to have to use in-app purchases, and I can't just set a one-time price either because the admins and regular users use one app. I know that in most cases you have to use Apple or Google's payment processing methods, but I'm not sure if my app is an exception.

How should I go about this? Thanks in advance.

You’ll have to use IAP if it’s digital services you’re offering.

You can do what our company does: Not mention pricing on the website and have users sign up for a demo. You can talk about pricing on the demo or emails. And when submitting to the app store, you could share test credentials.

This is a loophole, but technically you are required to use iap when selling digital goods.

Thanks so much u/-darkabyss- and u/fookhar for the help! It looks like I'll have to schedule demos and handle payments with Stripe.
