| <mark style="color:purple;">**Codashop's business model is compliant with Google and Apple's 3rd party payment policy.**</mark> | <p>Apple’s guidelines state that if an app operates across multiple platforms, users can access content acquired in the app, including consumable items in multi-platform games, provided that those items are also available as in-app purchases within the iOS version. This means that publishers should just ensure that content available for sale through Codashop can also be available for purchase using Apple’s in-app purchases.</p><p><br></p><p>Google’s payments policy also recognizes that developers can use alternative payment methods outside of an app. Within an app, users cannot be led to alternative payment methods for in-app purchases of digital goods and services distributed on Google Play, but publishers are free to communicate with users about alternative payment options outside of an app.<br></p><p>These policies may become more permissive in the future as more jurisdictions expressly legislate in favor of clarifying that other in-app payment methods can be used. Some countries and regions have already done so; for example, South Korea, the Netherlands, and the European Union.</p><p><br></p><p>In short, publishers that monetize using Codashop and do not communicate with users about this option inside the versions of their apps distributed through the Apple App Store and Google Play Store are compliant with Google and Apple’s policies.</p> |

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.coda.co/coda-portal/onboarding-compliance/onboarding/general-compliance.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
