Web payment pages are here on iOS—enable external checkout in your Expo app today
Blog post from Expo
A recent U.S. District Court ruling in the Epic Games v. Apple case mandates that developers must be allowed to include external payment links for digital goods and services in iOS apps, altering the traditional requirement for using iOS's in-app purchases (IAP) system and its 30% fee. This decision, particularly impactful with a 27% fee difference when comparing to common external payment processors, introduces new rules in the Apple App Store review guidelines, significantly benefiting developers by allowing them to advertise and link to third-party payment flows without additional charges. Expo, a framework that supports integrating web and mobile app development, offers developers the tools to seamlessly implement these changes, enabling high-conversion payment flows across iOS, Android, and web from a single TypeScript codebase. This shift empowers developers to manage their payment experiences fully, retain more revenue, and provide users with flexible payment options, enhancing the monetization strategy while maintaining cross-platform performance.
