Seeking Guidance for Custom Payment Models Not Supported by IAP

Hello Apple Team,

Our app uses essential custom payment flows such as:

One-time full payments

Monthly recurring payments (up to 12 months)

Custom 6 month recurring subscriptions

Deposit + fixed date balance payments

Deposit + monthly recurring payments

Deposit + 6 month recurring payments

These billing structures are currently not supported by In-App Purchase (IAP) due to technical limitations (e.g., split payments, custom intervals).

We’d like to understand what approved alternatives are available for supporting such payment models within App Store guidelines.

Could you please advise on any compliant options or architectures that would allow us to implement these flows?

Thank you, Vidya
