Donation options in an app - Are any of these allowed?

Are any of these options allowed regarding accepting donations through an iPhone app, without "losing" 30% of the money to Apple?

  • A button which links to a web page that accepts donations with credit card payments?
  • Instructions on how to donate by sending an SMS message?
  • Call a IVR service where you can bill the people donating on their phone bill?
  • 开发者_Python百科


2014 - please note all answers here are years out of date.

2014 - hopefully someone will post updated facts.


I'm pretty sure you are not allowed to do this currently - although these policies change frequently.

If you're interested in spam, donations (however well meaning), or viruses, that "android" system which google launched to allow that sort of thing, is exactly what you're looking for.

Sorry, I was wrong, you ARE currently allowed to do this:

21. Charities and contributions

21.1 Apps that include the ability to make donations to recognized charitable organizations must be free
21.2 The collection of donations must be done via a web site in Safari or an SMS

That's the answer, April 2011. You must use one of the two methods in 21.2.

From what I know, Apple doesn't allow you to include a donation button in your application. AppMakr quoted: “Apple tends to reject Apps that have content related to donations or charity. We have issued you a coupon “REMOVED” which will enable you to rebuild your App for free, minus the tab related to donations.”
