US Creators Can Now Sell Directly on Mobile Through ÍæÅ¼½ã½ã’s Branded Mobile App
On April 30, a U.S. federal judge that Apple must stop restricting U.S. app developers, including creators, from using alternative purchasing methods beyond Apple’s restrictive in-app purchase system. As a result, creators can now directly sell digital goods and services—such as memberships, courses, communities, newsletters, coaching, and podcasts—to customers through their mobile apps.
This ruling marks a significant advancement for creators, particularly those using ÍæÅ¼½ã½ã’s Branded Mobile App. ÍæÅ¼½ã½ã has already updated our Branded Mobile App to enable creators to:
- Clearly display product pricing within their app
- Provide seamless external links for direct product purchases
- Offer digital products with flexible payment options, including one-time payments, subscriptions, and installment plans
- Accept multiple payment methods, such as credit and debit cards, as well as buy-now-pay-later options
ÍæÅ¼½ã½ã creators in the U.S. can immediately start using these features by going .Ìý
Though this ruling only applies to the U.S. creators right now, we hope other countries will follow suit in short order, and we’ll be ready when they do.Ìý
