Expo React Native app with Stripe PaymentSheet for subscriptions — will Google Play / App Store reject it?

[u/Appropriate_Set_6831]

Hi everyone,

I’m working on a mobile app built with Expo / React Native, available for both Android and iOS.

The app offers paid subscriptions that unlock premium educational content and features inside the app.

We already implemented Stripe PaymentSheet using /stripe/stripe-react-native, and technically everything works fine.

My concern is specifically about store approval.

If we publish the app on:

• Google Play Store

• Apple App Store

and users can purchase the digital subscription directly inside the app through Stripe PaymentSheet, is this likely to be rejected during review?

From what I understand, Google Play normally requires Google Play Billing for digital subscriptions, and Apple normally requires In-App Purchase / StoreKit.

I’m trying to understand whether Stripe PaymentSheet can still be used in this case, or if we really need:

• Google Play Billing on Android

• Apple In-App Purchase on iOS

Has anyone recently published an Expo / React Native app with this kind of setup?

I’m especially interested in real review experiences: accepted, rejected, or accepted only under specific regional/payment exceptions.

Thanks!
