Do food orders in my restaurant app use Apple or Google in-app payments?

No. Apple says apps selling physical goods or services used outside the app must use other payment methods, such as Apple Pay or card entry. Google Play says its billing system must not be used for food delivery.

• Apple: guideline 3.1.3(e) says physical goods and services used outside the app use payment methods other than in-app purchase.
• Google Play: its billing system must not be used where payment is mainly for physical goods or services, such as food delivery.
• So: food orders are paid through a normal payment gateway, not through app store billing.
• Guidelines change: Apple's guidelines were last updated on 8 June 2026, so check them before you publish.
