A lot of developers would\u2019ve been delighted by Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers\u2018 orders to allow third-party payments on the Apple App Store. According to the order, the last date for the iPhone maker to comply with it is December 9. <\/span><\/p>\n

However, Apple is not backing down just yet. <\/span>The company is planning to appeal to the Ninth Circut for a stay. In a statement, it said that \u201cno additional business changes should be required to take effect until all appeals in this case are resolved.\u201d So don\u2019t get your hopes high just yet.<\/span><\/p>\n

In her order issued in the Epic v Apple trial case in September, Judge Gonzalez Rogers had argued that Apple was violating California\u2019s anti-competitive laws<\/a> by not allowing developers to link to their website or alternative payment systems for in-app purchases.<\/p>\n

In October, the company filed a notice of appeal<\/a> asking the court for a stay against this judgment. Last night, the judge denied this motion, forcing Apple to allow third-party payment options.<\/p>\n

If Apple doesn\u2019t get a stay from the Ninth Circuit, it will change its anti-steering policies and, <\/span>yes<\/i>, accommodate third-party payment options. That essentially means developers can tell you about other options for purchases and circumvent Apple\u2018s 30% fee.<\/p>\n

In August, the Cupertino-based firm allowed developers to communicate to their customers about alternative payment methods<\/a> through email. But this new order will let them place redirection links.<\/p>\n

As Daniel Ahmad, a senior analyst at Niko Partners noted on Twitter<\/a>, Apple might have to take some steps \u2014 like possibly reducing fees \u2014 to offset the impact third-party payment systems would have on its App Store business. <\/span><\/p>\n

\n

The big question now, given this would circumvent Apple’s in app purchase mechanism that charges a 30% take rate, is what Apple will do to mitigate some of the potential loss. <\/p>\n

Depending on the interpretation of the court ruling, Apple could find a way to offset that impact.<\/p>\n

While developers and collations advocating for them have welcomed this decision, many of<\/a>them believe<\/a> that Apple might have very strict guidelines for including links or buttons to other payment methods.<\/p>\n

In August, South Korea passed a new law to force both Apple and Google to allow developers to use alternative payment systems<\/a> \u2014 but that was limited to the country\u2019s app stores. On the other hand, this new judgment in the US could have a widespread impact on developer regulations worldwide.<\/p>\n
