Following Yesterday’s verdict to Apple-Epic Testing antitrustswhere is Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers directly embarrassed an apple because they do not allow external to pay in apps in applications as previously reigned, Stripe shared documentation This shows the IOOS developers how to avoid the Apple Commission.

In a Post on xStripe Michael Luo product leader said that a team was “cooked by a quick guide” that passes iOS developers through how to accept payments using stripes outside their applications, so they can use a new option, which was made possible by the court’s decision.

Apple allowed developers to connect to the external websites to buy, but only reduced 30% commission by 3% and added “scary screens” who warned consumers to the potential hazards of payment of developers outside their App. Judge Rogers said that Apple policy did not follow the spirit or in a letter of the law, in terms of its previous prohibition, and ordered the company to change its policies immediately.

Stripe’s New documentation He explains how developers can establish a relationship within their application to accept payments on iOS for digital goods using strip checkout. The option would divert the app customers to a safe payment page on stripes as part of a new outpost experience, the company say.

Of course, the use of Stripe is not as simple as the default option of Apple’s purchase through the application, as it requires a developer to set up and maintain their own payment page and departure experience. However, Stripe’s standard Paying fees are 2.9% plus $ 0.30 by USD by transaction, making it a much accessible alternative to Apple’s 30% commissions (or even its 15% commissions for selected applications, such as those in Apple’s small biz program or subscriber applications, starting with the second year).

Stripe’s announcement is already gaining attraction, with the news receive thousands of likes on X of impatient developers.

Longtime critic of Apple, David Heinemeier Hanson, who is the creator of Ruby on Rails and co -owner 37signals, which makes software like Basecamp and Heyalso praised by Stripe’s solution. Hanson has been arguing with Apple several times over the years to reject Heye’s email and calendaring apps because they have been set to avoid using Apple’s purchase mechanisms through the application.

To x, Hanson suggested Changing Apple’s rules that now enable external payments will allow more companies in the App Store.

“Apple’s loss in court immediately opens up a whole new world for the app programmers,” he says. “The whole business models were impossible in the old 30% regime.”
