Redirect your iOS in-App Purchases, Recurring Subscriptions to the Browser

With recent changes in App Store policies following the Epic vs. Apple ruling, mobile apps can now direct users to external payment methods for digital goods and recurring subscriptions without using Apple’s in-app purchase system. By redirecting your iOS app purchases to the browser, you can bypass the Apple App Store commission and lower your transaction fees. See below for easy steps to get started. Reduce your transaction costs today for things like recurring subscriptions and One Click payments with PayPal.

How to Start

Before getting started, make sure you have a PayPal Business account and access to the PayPal Developer Dashboard. This is required to create API credentials and to use PayPal’s sandbox for testing.
