ZeroSettle
Bypass Apple's 30% fee with an App Store-compliant web checkout SDK
ZeroSettle is an in-app web checkout SDK that lets mobile app developers bypass Apple's 30% App Store fee by offering direct billing to users in supported regions. It acts as a Merchant of Record, handling tax remittance, fraud protection, chargebacks, and compliance across 190+ countries. The SDK integrates in under 15 minutes with Swift, React Native, and Flutter, and includes paywalls, cancellation flows, and A/B testing tools to improve conversion and LTV.
Developers add the ZeroSettle SDK to their app, sync their existing App Store products, and trigger a web checkout flow that processes payments directly at a 5% + 50¢ fee instead of Apple's 30%.
