Summary

The revised terms introduce a flat 5% commission on digital goods sold through apps distributed outside the App Store or through the web. Apple also set standard rates of 26% for in-app purchases and 20% for alternative payments, while loosening financial qualification rules for alternative marketplaces.

Why it matters

Web checkout and alternative distribution become more commercially viable for EU developers, though teams must account for program-specific exceptions and the terms’ lock-in conditions.
