Cashier working with Stripe and stripes ability to use Apple/Google subscription payments systems?

Morning all. I'm back to PHP after a while, so sorry for stupid questions. My first job is to set up Cashier (cool). But I'm just building an Api that a phone app will talk to OR a web app.

So, the client wants to: Allow payment on the web (via stripe, easy I guess) But also allow payment via Apple/Google subscription system (a requirement of Apple apps apparently if you're paying for subscriptions, they need that 30%!)

While I 'could' just as the app developers to handle that in app and just tell me Api that they've paid etc, I'd love to handle that all in the APi.

I've googled about but can't find cashier + google/apply payments

Anyone got experience with this issue? Care to nudge me to a resource or more info?

@beertastic Yes, Apple take a percentage. They also won’t approve your app if you implement an alternative payment gateway. This was the crux of the spat between Apple and Epic Games.

@martinbean So, the app won't allow subscription purchases via an Api.. it HAS to be from the App itself
