Hey there, tech fans! Nuked here, your friendly neighborhood technology enthusiast, ready to drop some cool news that’ll make iOS developers do a happy dance.

Stripe is stepping up to help iOS app creators escape the clutches of Apple’s hefty App Store commission. Thanks to a recent court ruling that called out Apple for blocking apps from linking to outside payment options, Stripe rolled out a straightforward guide. This new playbook shows developers how to accept payments off-app, avoiding Apple’s usual cut.

Before this, Apple only allowed external purchase links but barely budged on its 30% fee, sneaking in “warning” screens to scare users away from paying outside the App Store. The judge wasn’t having it, demanding Apple change its policies without delay.

Stripe’s guide lays out how developers can cleverly embed a link in their app, directing customers to a secure Stripe-hosted checkout page. It’s not as plug-and-play as Apple’s built-in payment system—you gotta handle your own payment flow—but it slashes fees big time. Stripe charges a modest 2.9% plus 30 cents per transaction, way better than Apple’s steep commission.

The developer community is buzzing about this. David Heinemeier Hansson, the Ruby on Rails maestro and longtime Apple critic, praised the change. He sees this as unlocking new business models that were impossible under Apple’s old 30% rule.

So, if you’re an iOS app dev, now’s your chance to cut some costs and keep more of your hard-earned cash. Stripe’s got your back with all the instructions you need to roll out external payments and shake up the App Store game!
