\nApple\u2019s newest feature helps solve App Store billing issues without bugging developers<\/br>
\n2023-04-20 21:51:17<\/br><\/p>\n

\n

Apple is introducing a new feature that will reduce the burden on app developers when it comes to solving subscription billing issues. Often, when an app\u2019s subscribers have a payment method that fails, they\u2019ll turn to the app developer for help. But the developer doesn\u2019t handle billing issues for their App Store apps \u2014 those are managed by Apple itself. This leads to some back-and-forth where the developer has to determine the problem and advise the customer on how to proceed so they can keep using the app. Now, Apple says a new feature will instead prompt users inside the app when their payment method fails, meaning they\u2019ll no longer need to bother the developer for help with this common issue.<\/p>\n

The company announced in a blog post<\/a> to its developer community that it will soon pop up a warning in a system-provided sheet inside the app that lets customers update their payment method associated with their Apple ID.<\/p>\n

The sheet advises the app\u2019s user there \u201cis a problem with your current payment method\u201d and that they need to update it to \u201cavoid interruptions to your subscriptions and purchases.\u201d Users can then press the big blue \u201cContinue\u201d button at the bottom of the screen to proceed to update their method of payment \u2014 for example, entering the new expiration date for a credit card after the older one expires. There\u2019s also an option to \u201cAdd Payment Method\u201d to switch to a new card.<\/p>\n

Even better, developers won\u2019t have to make any changes on their end to support the feature, Apple says \u2014 it will roll out automatically starting sometime this summer.<\/p>\n

However, developers are now able to get familiar with the sheet in the sandbox environment, where they can simulate billing issues to see how the system responds. Developers will also be able to suppress the prompts using messages<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0display<\/a> in StoreKit, if they choose.<\/p>\n

The new system complements other features Apple has built around subscriptions, including machine learning-powered payment retries and a Billing Grace Period that lets customers continue to access their subscriptions while Apple attempts to collect the payment.<\/p>\n

The feature will be a benefit to consumers and developers alike, as it will simplify the process of updating their payment method and free up the developer\u2019s time to work on more technical issues. Of course, the launch also comes at a time when Apple is being investigated over antitrust issues due to its high App Store fees, which has led many in the developer community to want to handle their own payments directly, outside of Apple\u2019s platform. By adding in a useful feature like this, Apple has a better chance at retaining smaller developers who want to eliminate the hassle of subscription management.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
