UIWebView Payment Processing

Question

I am implementing a purchasing system for physical items in an app, because it's not digital goods it won't be classed as in-app-purchase.

The payment service I need to use don't have a public API. So I was wondering if I can hit their url in a UIWebView and make the payment through there.

Will it get accepted in the AppStore?

Or will I have to leave my app and go to Safari to finish the transaction?

thanks

Your approach is fine, no need to switch out to safari. Just make sure the url has the https prefix so that the creditcard is processed over ssl.
