Android/iPhone mobile payments

I am developing some kind of digital membership cards system that needs to replace current plastic one. I would need to provide the user with the possibility to buy membership card directly within the application and therefore need some mobile payment option. I am developing this for both Android and iOS platforms so some web开发者_如何学运维 service or API would be the best solution. I have looked a bit around and the things I have found are:

Paypal Mobile: https://personal.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/?cmd=_render-content&content_ID=marketing_us/mobile_payments

DIBS Mobile: http://www.dibspayment.com/products/internet/add-on_packages/mobile/

Just push me in the right direction or give me some idea :)

Both Google and Apple require you to use their own payment systems within apps. So:

1. You will not be able to use a common payment system for both Android and iPhone.
2. While Google does not allow third party payment systems, Apple at the moment kinda tolerates them, but requires you to also use their iTunes in-app payment system, so you will have to implement both.

This is the response from PP support team regarding Android distribution agreement and 3rd party payment processor implementation.

So android cannot prevent you from selling in app purchases of any type, weather digital or otherwise. The distribution Agreement from the Android Marketplace does however mention the following:

"However, if you want to collect fees after the free trial expires, you must collect all fees for the full version of the Product through the Payment Processor on the Market"

This would mean that you must use the Android Marketplace payment processor to upgrade from a free trial. As your application does not technically fall under this category you would not be breaking the Distro agreement. To be 100% sure on this you would need to contact Android about this. Also please note that the distribution agreement does not extend past the Android Marketplace, for example the AppBrain market is not effected by this.

I would like to point out that PayPal have approved a large number of applications for use of the MPL that are live on the Android Marketplace at the moment.
