Apple updated its App Store rules and fees in the EU to comply with antitrust orders, allowing developers to direct customers outside the store for payment.
Developers will incur a 20% processing fee for App Store purchases, with reduced fees for those in Apple’s small-business program.
Developers sending customers outside the App Store for payment will face a minimum fee of 5% and a maximum of 15%, along with the ability to use multiple links for external payment.
Apple made the changes to avoid a potential 500 million euro fine from EU antitrust regulators and plans to appeal the decision.
