The US is forcing Apple to open its doors to third-party payment systems.

According to 9to5Mac , the US Supreme Court rejected Apple's appeal, forcing the company to allow app developers to link to external payment systems.

The outcome of the 2021 Apple and Epic trial saw Apple win on most fronts, except for the judge's ruling forcing Apple to loosen its App Store anti-direction policy and allow developers like Epic Games to integrate links to alternative payment systems within their apps.

A US court has ordered Apple to open its doors to third-party payment systems.

Apple delayed the implementation of the ruling by filing an appeal. However, the court recently declined to consider Apple's appeal, with the original ruling to be upheld. The App Store has faced significant regulatory pressure in recent years, as governments have targeted Apple's monopoly over the iPhone software ecosystem.

Apple charges a commission of 15-30% on all transactions made through its in-app purchase system. The company also prohibits apps from informing customers about potential alternative payment methods.

The court decision will allow apps to inform users that they have alternative payment options, with a direct link to an external website. If customers choose to use an alternative payment method, developers will be able to generate more revenue because they will not have to pay Apple's commission.

However, Apple may still require developers to share a commission. For example, in the Netherlands, dating apps are allowed to use alternative payment methods, but Apple still requires developers to pay a commission.
