Apple rejected my app because tips are not allowed ( they call them Charity donation)

Question

Apple rejected for the third time my app. I add in this app a "donation" process. There are tips were i get a fee on every transaction. The transaction was made via PayPal on a UIWebView ( because PayPal sdk not support credit card on my Country :( )

The response from Apple's review is :

While donations may not be taken within an app, you may provide a link to your website that launches Safari for users to make a donation. You may also add a link to send an SMS to make the donation.

We are unable to proceed with the review of your app until this issue has been addressed.

How i can made a flow were when i click donate i open safari then i can return back on transaction finished ?

Edit

I want to say how return to app without the small link on left corner

I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because developer centric questions about application stores are considered off topic here on SO, see [this](https://meta.stackoverflow.com/a/272166/4667835) meta answer by a moderator. — Dávid Pásztor, Sep 14 '17 at 09:03
why ? is a request for developer support ? I want to say how return to app without the small link on left — Qu4sar, Sep 14 '17 at 09:08
Then ask the specific, technical question about how to achieve that and don't ask about how to get your app approved by Apple. — Dávid Pásztor, Sep 14 '17 at 09:12
"How i can made a flow were when i click donate i open safari then i can return back on transaction finished ?" is not "how to get my app approved by apple " — Qu4sar, Sep 14 '17 at 09:13
I think what David means is that change the title of your question to "How I can ...." rather than "Apple rejected my app" — , Sep 14 '17 at 09:35

Apple probably don´t want these kind of action because they want you to use their payment rules and they have a fee with 30%.

What you could do is to fire Safari as Apple suggest, make a button and call this function:

func openSafari() {
    if let let url = "someURl", let requestUrl = URL(string: url) {
        if #available(iOS 10.0, *) {
            UIApplication.shared.open(requestUrl, options: [:], completionHandler: nil)
        } else {
            UIApplication.shared.openURL(requestUrl)
        }
    }
}

This will launch Safari with your suggested URL and then you can go back to the app with the small link that automatically will popup at the top left corner.
