Apple announces changes to the use of third-party payment systems in applications presented in the Dutch App Store

Last month, Apple allowed dating apps in the Netherlands to use third-party payment services at the behest of the Dutch Consumer and Markets Authority (ACM). Now, Apple has announced changes that will make things easier for developers looking to enable third-party payment processors.

The most important change is that Apple no longer requires individual app binaries to be submitted to the App Store. Any payment options can be included in an existing app, but use must be limited to the app in the Dutch App Store and on devices running iOS and iPadOS.

The second change is that Apple will provide more specific criteria that it uses to evaluate third-party payment services. This should give developers a better idea of ​​whether their decision will be accepted by Apple or whether they will have to choose another option.

Also, developers should inform users that they are going to make purchases through an external payment system, as well as explain the potential impact that this choice may have on the user.

The developers hope that these changes will spread to other regions.
