Just so I've got this clear..
If I develop an enterprise ipad application and track down the customers myself, it is possible to sell to them and take 100% of the revenue still?
I can do this by offering the app for free on the app store and requiring activation through my own external signup system. However, I must also offer the option to sign up using Apple's API and Apple taking 30%?
I just need to be on the phone to the customer when they download the app and ask them politely to not use the Apple method?
- scrod 16y agoWhy ask them? Just price the Apple-payment-system version 30% higher than your own and let customers see the difference.
- arn 16y agoYou can't do this. Apple states you must price it the same.
- oscardelben 16y agoOr lower.
- scrod 16y agoOh, too bad then.

- mdemare 16y agoApple does not allow that.
- pieter 16y agoAlso, you'd have to increase the price by 43% to account for Apple's cut.
- greyman 16y agoI was also thinking about something similar. If users find your service on your website, you should encourage them to subscribe through it, no through in-app purchase. I think all app developers should educate people about that, so the number of in-app purchases will be as low as possible, so the apple cut of all sales will not be 30%, but less.
