Out of app stores subscription, is it possible?!
I'm in the process of developing a B2B utility application, first mobile app and a corresponding web app later. I would like to get your advice and experience in regard to out of app store subscription method.
Here are some key elements that will explains my thoughts:
1) My app will be released free with in-app registration required for first time users. existing users will prompt to login.
2) In app registration form would be a basic data entry and without any payment mechanism/requirement.
3) Later on when the ground is ready and we'll acquire enough users, through push notification we'll offer our customers a monthly, bi-annually or annual subscription for purchase in order to continue using our app.
4) The users can only purchase a subscription package through our WEBSITE.
5) After free app usage expired, existing or new registered user will be asked to go to our website to select and purchase a package.
My only hesitation and therefore my question is...would this method be compliance with google play and app store policy?
Thanks in advance!
