I'll keep it short: due to the Apple vs Epic injunction, developers can offer links to external payments from within their app.That means, starting today in the United States, developers can use Superwall's web checkout links from their apps. Launch them from a paywall, some view within settings — anywhere!
The best part? Superwall is already built for this. There are no updates or features required on our side, or any updates you'll need to ship on your side if you've set up web checkout.
What you need to know, and how to get started right now
- Zero commission: Apple can't charge a 27% cut or audit your web payments.
- No entitlements: You don't need Apple's approval to add a checkout link.
- No UI restrictions: Style your button however you want, and place it anywhere — even next to Apple's own IAP.
- No app update required: If you're on Superwall SDK 4.2.0+, you can deep link to a web checkoutwithout shipping a new build.
- Live now in the United States: The injunction is already in effect. Apple says it'll comply while appealing. All you need to do is add a web checkout link either on a paywall or in your app, and you can use this filter to ensure it only shows in the United States:
