Want to know how to publish to Apple and Google? Check this out: [How to Setup your Apple App](https://help.passion.io/hc/en-us/articles/4405871387165-how-to-setup-your-branded-ios-app?hsLang=en) and [How to Setup your Google App](https://help.passion.io/hc/en-us/articles/149727121741-how-to-setup-your-branded-android-app?hsLang=en) 

### **1. In-app purchases**

A new client can download your app for free and use their Apple/Google account to buy your product or subscription inside the app. This is called an in-app purchase.

Payments will then be processed directly by Apple/Google, and clients will automatically get full access to all your app content after purchasing.

In-app purchases are suitable for low-ticket offers/tripwires. Any higher ticket should be done outside the app. Please take a look at this article: [How to create hidden pricing](https://help.passion.io/hc/en-us/articles/4405190262417?hsLang=en).

 

### **2. App Store Commission**

It's a common misconception that Apple and Google take 30% of all revenue.

The reality is:

- You don't have to sell with IAPs (in-app purchases) - you can sell on the web app and still give access to the app (like Netflix and Spotify do).
- You can sell via PassionPayments (3.9%) or your checkout URL and connect to your app via Zapier.
- You pay only 15% app store commission for IAPs up to $1m/y
- You pay a 30% commission on IAPs after $1m/y

If you make less than $1m/y, you can apply for their start-up program, where they charge 15% :

### **3. Cancelling In-App Purchases**

You cannot cancel your client's subscription to PassionMetrics; your client would need to do this themselves on their mobile device via the Google Play or Apple App Store.

For more information, check out this article: [How do your clients cancel a subscription purchased in the Google Play Store and Apple App Store?](https://help.passion.io/hc/en-us/articles/360018050278-how-to-manually-unsubscribe-your-client-from-a-membership-they-purchased?hsLang=en)

### **4. Frequently Asked Questions**

- **Can I take payments outside Apple/Google?**

Yes, you have a few different ways to collect payments. For more options, check out this article, How to collect payment from my clients.

- **When will I receive my Apple/Google payouts?**

Payouts from in-app purchases can take up to 60 days to be received and will come directly from Apple/Google. Please contact their customer support for more information on receiving payouts.
