Link your iOS App to Web-based Payments

Save Up to 27% on App Store Fees

Following recent changes to Apple App Review Guidelines, US iOS apps can now implement web-based payments. This is an opportunity for businesses to save up to 27% in fees, converting those savings into increased revenue legally and without friction.

Apple’s New Policy Update: What It Means for Your iOS App

A major policy update in Apple App Review Guidelines now allows U.S. iOS apps to offer direct, in-app links to web-based checkout systems.

No special entitlement. No gray areas.

šŸ“œ Apple’s Section 3.1.1(a):


Apps may include a link to their website for payments—as long as the site is owned and operated by the developer and includes Apple’s mandated disclosures.

What This Means for You:

Avoid Apple’s 27% commission

Fully control your checkout experience

Stay compliant with Apple’s updated policies

Customize the Way Your Customers Pay
