Correct me if I'm wrong.
- taurath 5y ago> Developers can communicate directly with customers about alternative payment options. Customers have to consent and be given the right to opt-out. This is the only statement that might be construed as such from the article, but it doesn't say anything about management, and I'm really not sure what consent means - is it a popup that says "do you want to be informed about non-apple payment methods?". Maybe it is what is being changed, but I can't really tell. I can say that customer confusion is often built into app store policies, and the amount of backend and customer service work to clean up users who sign up with multiple payment methods accidently is not a trivial cost.

- tommymachine 5y agoyou can't link directly from the app. however you can ask for email and send the link via email. the settlement hasn't been approved yet (filed yesterday) so the exact terms haven't been updated.
