What is the best way to buy something within the app

So if I wanted to make an app where I would purchase something. What would be the best way to do that? I feel the best way would be to link to a buy button on my webpage. Is there another way to do it with in app purchases? Doesn't apple take 30% of those purchases? What are some solutions to this?

I've seen Urban Airship mentioned in the forums before: http://urbanairship.com/products/in-app-purchase/ What does a google search turn up? I'd be curious to see what you find, or what others can advise.

@Mammoth, Urban Airship is a pretty good solution but keep in mind that IAP cannot be used for purchase of physical goods which is ok since Apple does not take their lovely 30% cut.There are several great mobile shopping cart programs out there if you are selling a physical product. Just use some custom html to set it up.

That seems to be the best solution to set up a buy button on your website and just have the app link there. A link to your pay pal account seems like the best solution.
