iPad Affinity Photo as a Gift- question

[nwhit]

I want to purchase a v2 iPad Photo for someone as a gift. Can anyone tell me how v2 is purchased on an iPad? I got mine through the new Universal License, so I don’t know how the new v2 iPad apps are paid for. I know they download as a demo, and then they can be purchased for $19 as an “in app purchase”.  My thought was to send this person an Apple iTunes/App Store gift card, but I don’t know if the purchase is paid through the App Store account or directly to Affinity/Serif. 
 

Thanks! For a birthday this weekend, so need to resolve quickly!

The iPad versions are sold exclusively through Apple as an in-app purchase. We don't offer gifting options ourselves, but you would be able to use an Apple gift card to place the order. Please contact Apple for more information.

Just to be clear, payment for the iPad app is made to Apple via the customer’s Apple account? Just want to be sure before I send my “gift”.

Yes, that's right. They would download a trial from the Apple Store and then pay Apple as in app purchase from within the free trial.
