How does the actual collection take place? I'm sure 30% is too steep a cut for splitting a dinner check. Has Apple loosened its policies on third-party payment processors?

Collection takes place through our payment service provider, not IAP. There is no 30% cut.

Yep - IIRC, in-app purchases only apply if the purchase itself is delivered through the app (usually content)

This is how apps like Uber, Lyft, InstantCab, Instacart, etc. let you pay through your phone, and why Netflix and Hulu don't even let you sign up for their service on iOS.
