FastSpring is hosting Unsettled: The Future of Apple’s 30% Cut, a one-hour webinar to help SaaS and software companies understand the changes happening with in-app payments in the App Store. The event will happen on November 2, 2021, at 9 a.m. Pacific time.
In September, Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers ruled that Apple had 90 days to allow developers to use external payment options for in-app purchases in the App Store. Apple is appealing the decision and has asked for a stay, leaving many unanswered questions about when the ruling will go into effect.

Andy Jolls, CMO of FastSpring, will be joined by featured presenter Richard Hoeg, principal at Hoeg Law, to discuss the case and the new rules for developers. Richard is the host of Virtual Legality, a 45,000+ subscriber YouTube channel where he breaks down many of the legal rulings making the news, including Epic vs. Apple.
Jolls and Hoeg will discuss these and many other questions related to in-app payments in the webinar, which is specially designed for three types of SaaS and software companies:
- Companies that sell directly through the App Store
- Companies that sell directly to consumers through a website and don’t have a mobile app — but are considering it
- Companies with revenue from both channels: direct sales through a website and App Store sales — and want to increase revenue from both.
