We are offering purchases from our app and we are implementing Apple Pay as an option. We will be limiting Apple Pay service to only US and UK users - so simply hiding / showing Apple Pay button. Is this against Apple policies or is it allowed?
EDIT
Lets say we limit usage to US and UK. Is there any proper way to check if users come from that regions? I had in mind using Localisation (checking for preferred language and checking for currency). Or is there any better way?
I don't think apple will reject unless you are not providing enough information on the purchase.
Appstore Review Guidelines does not mention about hiding and enabling buttons but you can read the detailed apple pay user interface guidelines here

I was considering to implement a payment method in my iOS app.
I considered to use IAP (In App Purchase) or PayPal. IAP is actually very expensive, Apple charges up to 40% according with the country you belong. On the other hand PayPal charges you something like 3% - 4%.
Anyone knows why the gap is so huge?
Does PayPal breaks Apple purchasing terms?
The gap is huge, because Apple brings you the end user directly, by using it's tools, platforms and market, whereas, PayPal is just a payment system, which does almost nothing for you.
In this case, you should consider the Apple just like your agent selling your house, who searches for customers, advertises, does all the documentation s**t, sells and gets his percent from the sale. So, Apple is getting it's 30% for using it's ecosystem, not for the payment only.
And, no, I don't think PayPal breaks Apple's purchasing terms.
PS: I don't work for Apple ))

One of our applications offers IAP, some consumable and some auto-renewable subscription.
When trying to add an (or to modify an existing) auto-renewable subscription, iTunes Connect displays this label in the "Add duration and pricing window" :
A marketing opt-in incentive cannot be offered with this app.
Does someone know how to enable opt-in at application or appId level?
Thanx
I belive that this relates to Newsstand and subscription magazines. Big publishers somehow managed to convince Apple to hand over details about subscribers to them, but this is to be "opt-in."
Since you're not (I assume) a big publisher you don't get this perk, so you can't offer it.

Does it go against any sort of TOS with apple if you display ads in a free app, when that app requires an outside subscription service? Like netflix.
This isn't totally a programming questions, so if no one knows, or doesn't want to answer, is there a site or location I could go to in order to find out?
Apple has no restrictions against ads in free applications. There are several ad-supported apps which exist.
However, using location data of the user for advertising might lead to the app not being approved.

I have an application in which I want to offer the ability to pay for answers to questions in digital format. I.e, the user would submit a question, and purchase an answer which I would construct and send back to the app. Is this allowed?
I'm not sure if purchasing answers to unknown questions directly would be allowed or not, but I'm sure you could simply sell 'credits' that would give x number of requests.
Yes, this is allowed. See section 11 of the App Review Guidelines for iOS, found here, login required.

I need to get UDIDs of devices on which inApps from my app were made. Is it possible from iTunes connect or thru any API for developers?
Apple will not give you this information. The way they provide is to retrieve previous transactions made by the user on the current iTunes account. Apple would very much not like it if you were trying to limit the validity of the purchases to the devices not the user. You could have some analytics (flurry, google...) that keeps tracks this information but it is not usual practice, you should not attempt to identify individual users when building statistics on your app's usage.
