It'll be as it has always been. Apps can't show or hint at alternative payment options.
This is in regards to letting users know about such options outside the iPhone's scope (email for instance)
- TheJoeMan 5y agoI was hoping Apple was ceding some ground in this, it’s what puts the dirtiest taste in my mouth. If you go to even Walmart (a company very strict on their suppliers) and pick up some object, on the back of the packaging will be www.exampleproduct dot com. And on that website you could theoretically sell your product directly. What does Apple do? “Oh on that privacy policy we mandated you could click here and then here and then pay online - REJECT” So now people only know that Netflix can be paid online, but few think to sign up for DuoLingo or the like online :/
- collaborative 5y agoSeems like a massive PR trick then. The only difference is that they will set up $100M for US devs. Probably the ones that brought the court case?
- iNate2000 5y agoBut Walmart wouldn’t let a vendor set up a kiosk in the middle of the store and accept payments with a Square reader on a phone, would they?
- horsawlarway 5y agoWalmart has already purchased the items they're selling in their stores - in most situations. That's how distributers work - They purchase an order of items up front and then sell them at a price point of their choosing. Not to mention - In the walmart case, the user is free to go shop at safeway/publix/kroger/target/etc if they want. Where as with Apple you can only shop at the company store.
