Following recent updates to Apple’s policies in certain regions, developers are now permitted to guide users from their apps to external websites to accept payments for virtual items.

You can add visible buttons, banners, messages, and other calls to action that take users directly from your game to item purchase using a secure, browser-based checkout (to your Web Shop or payment UI) in a single click — without violating Apple’s rules or risking enforcement.

Buy Button integration via Mobile SDK is ideal if you want to link out from your game to a prebuilt, item-specific payment page and retain more control over the checkout flow, including:

• Flexible customization of the purchase experience — from transaction logic to visual presentation.
• Support for a serverless setup — the SDK can operate without a back end: purchases and item delivery are handled on the client side, with no need for webhooks.
• A wide range of payment methods, including one-click payments via Apple Pay, for fast and familiar mobile checkout experience.
