I think Spotify can direct users outside of the app for payment? From Apple's response:
> Music app developers can even include information about other offers available outside of their app, along with a link directing users to a website to create and manage their account.
- hu3 3y agoApps can link to external payment methods only if they pay Apple. And there's a bunch of bureaucracy. You have to apply to the program beforehand, follow a bunch of guidelines, implement a bunch of hooks in app code and pray they will approve. See section "Commission, transaction reports, and payments" from: https://developer.apple.com/support/storekit-external-entitlement-us/ https://developer.apple.com/support/storekit-external-entitl... > Apple’s commission will be 27% on proceeds you earn from sales (“transactions“) to the user for digital goods or services on your website after a link out (i.e., they tap “Continue” on the system disclosure sheet), provided that the sale was initiated within seven days and the digital goods or services can be used in an app. This includes (a) any applicable taxes and (b) any adjustments for refunds, reversals and chargebacks. For auto-renewing subscriptions, (i) a sale initiated, including with a free trial or offer, within seven days after a link out is a transaction; and (ii) each subsequent auto-renewal after the subscription is initiated is also a transaction.
