Is Apple OK with the use of PayPal API in an iOS App, for selling goods and services?

Any experience? I've been reading the InApp Purchase, and it applies only to digital content.

Can I use PayPal in iOS app?

On an iPhone or iPad, it's easy to add PayPal as an Apple ID payment method from the Settings app. It's worth noting that once you add it using your iPhone or iPad, the payment method will apply to your Apple ID on any platform, including the Mac. Here's how to set it up.

Yes, as long as you are not selling digital goods, you can use the PayPal API. Apple does not restrict iPhone users from paying with PayPal for physical goods and real world services.

You can also use it for donations to charitable institutions.

PapPal also allows different types of payments like chained payments, parallel payments etc.

Although it does not use PayPal, you can pay for goods in the Amazon App with real money. PayPal is no different. An easily verifiable example of an app that uses paypal for sure is PayPal itself!
