In-app purchases in iOS webapp?

Question

This might be a stupid question but after googling for a bit I can't seem to find an answer to this.

Is there any way of allowing users to buy things with their Apple ID in a webapp? I know it's basically a website loaded into a stripped down Safari but I wanted to be sure.

I'm developing a game that runs in a simple Android app with webview but on iOS I use the webapp function because Apple does not allow an app to simply load a website. Would it be possible to offer in-app purchases through an iOS webapp?

I'm not sure I fully understand your setup but I don't think it will matter. If your app is packaged into a native iOS app (even if you're loading some HTML), you will be able to offer in-app purchases but it will require you to write some objective-c native iOS code.

If your app is not packaged into a native iOS app, then no, you can't offer in-app purchases.
