Frequently Asked Questions
In late April 2025, a U.S. District Court ruling found Apple in violation of a 2021 injunction meant to allow developers to direct users to external payment options, like Web Billing.
As a result, iOS developers are now permitted to guide users to web-based payment flows without additional Apple fees or restrictive design requirements.

RevenueCat's existing Web Billing solution allows you to easily start selling subscriptions and one-time purchases on the web, and connect them with the same subscriptions and entitlements on mobile. Web Billing is also compatible with Paywalls v2.

Add a new app in your RevenueCat project and select Web Billing as the payment provider. Read more in Configuring Web Billing.
What does this mean for web payments outside of the United States?
This ruling only affects web payments in the United States. The App Store has existing restrictions on web payments outside of the United States.

Not yet, we are working on adding support for existing web checkouts with Paywalls v2.
Can I send a customer directly to the checkout flow for a given product?
