App Store Payment Alternative Seamless Migration in 15 Minutes

Yes. The April 2025 Epic v. Apple ruling permanently barred Apple from requiring developers to use its In-App Purchase system in the United States. This means US-based app developers can now legally offer direct billing as an alternative to Apple IAP. Allocents is purpose-built for this legal environment, with jurisdiction-aware routing that ensures direct billing flows are only shown where permitted.

Yes. Allocents' Switch and Save campaigns are designed specifically for existing StoreKit subscribers. The flows show opt-in migration offers at configurable timing, so no subscriber is forcibly moved. You can start with a 10% gradual rollout to validate impact before scaling, and roll back instantly from the dashboard if needed. Existing IAP subscribers who do not switch continue billing through Apple uninterrupted.

When you use Allocents Billing, Allocents acts as your Merchant of Record and handles all tax calculation, collection, and remittance in 190+ countries automatically, including US sales tax, EU VAT, and AU GST. You do not touch tax at all. If you use Bring Your Own Stripe, you take on MoR responsibilities including tax, in exchange for a lower 0.5% fee on migrated revenue.

The Allocents SDK integrates in approximately 15 minutes. It supports Swift/SwiftUI, Kotlin, Flutter, and React Native. StoreKit product sync automatically imports your existing App Store Connect products so you are not rebuilding your catalog. You can run direct billing alongside StoreKit simultaneously, meaning your existing IAP flow stays intact while you gradually introduce the direct billing alternative.

Allocents Billing makes Allocents your full Merchant of Record at 5% plus 50¢ per transaction. Allocents handles payments, taxes in 190+ countries, chargebacks, fraud, refunds, and customer support. Bring Your Own Stripe lets you connect your existing Stripe account and handle MoR responsibilities yourself, at a lower 0.5% fee on revenue that Allocents' offers successfully migrate. Both options use the same SDK and UI flows.
