Purchase Confirmation Letter

Hi all,

I've received emails from other apps after making a purchase, with content like:

You have purchased {App Name} on {Date & Time} and acknowledged that if you download or use this in-App Purchase within fourteen days of buying it, you will no longer be eligible to cancel this purchase.

Do anyone know under what circumstances Apple sends a Purchase Confirmation Letter to the user's email after they purchase our digital products via IAP? Is this something developers can control?

Additionally, I've seen pop-up reminders before making a payment in apps, with content similar to the above message.

Are these reminders provided by Apple, or can developers create their own guidance to help users avoid accidental purchases?

Kindly,

Vanto

Apple always e-mails receipts. Developers have no control over that.

Apple has some requirements for user information and consent with respect to purchases, but I'm not aware of any rules against developers going beyond the bare minimum.
