<\/span>Skip Apple\u2019s commission and boost your profits from the very first transaction<\/span><\/h2>\n

The recent court victory of Epic Games against Apple has opened a new chapter for iOS app developers. Apple can no longer block links to external payment methods, ending the mandatory use of its in-app purchase system and its steep 30% commission.<\/span><\/p>\n

This means any app on the App Store that handles purchases, subscriptions, or digital payments can now redirect users to an external payment gateway\u2014saving up to 90% in fees.<\/span><\/p>\n

Until now, all in-app purchases on iOS had to go through Apple\u2019s payment system, significantly cutting into developers\u2019 margins. With this legal shift, it\u2019s now possible to integrate an online payment gateway and charge users directly\u2014starting from just 1% in fees.<\/span><\/p>\n
