Route the purchase
Eligible purchases move through your own direct web checkout instead of the app stores' billing rail.

Why direct billing
Keep what
Keep what
you earn.
Route an eligible purchase through your own web checkout and it skips the app stores' cut — so you keep up to 34% more of every sale. Same app, same access, one SDK call.
Free to start. Fees apply only to web-checkout revenue — never to native store sales.
How it works
30% becomes a rounding error.
The app stores' commission doesn't shrink through negotiation. It shrinks because a different rail carries each eligible purchase — while store billing stays the automatic fallback wherever it's required.
Pay only processing
Pay 0.5% on web-checkout revenue with your own Stripe, or let ZeroSettle be Merchant of Record for an all-in 5% + 50¢.
Compare plans →Keep the store fallback
Native store purchases continue exactly as before and are never charged a ZeroSettle fee.
Compliance →Keep the difference
That's up to 34% more revenue on every eligible sale, kept the moment it settles.

The margin gap
Same sale.
Run your own numbers
Same sale.
A very different split.
ZeroSettle charges only the revenue you route through direct web checkout. Anything a customer buys through the native store stays untouched.

The upside
More than margin.
Direct billing changes more than the fee line. It hands you the relationship, the pricing, the experimentation, and the settlement mechanics the app stores ordinarily mediate.
Bigger margins
Keep up to 34% more of every eligible sale instead of surrendering 30% to the app stores.

Questions
Direct billing, precisely.
The direct rail sits alongside the app stores rather than pretending they don't exist. Here are the operational details developers usually ask first.
Route an eligible sale through ZeroSettle web checkout and you keep up to 34% more of it than you would after the app stores' standard 30% cut. On a $9.99 sale that's $8.99–9.35 reaching you instead of $6.99.
No. ZeroSettle fees apply only to revenue completed through ZeroSettle web checkout. Anything a customer buys through the native store is never charged a ZeroSettle fee.
It's 0.5% of revenue when you bring your own Stripe account, plus your normal processing costs. Or ZeroSettle can operate as Merchant of Record for an all-in 5% + 50¢ per transaction.
No. Direct billing runs alongside the store's native billing, which stays the automatic, compliant fallback wherever direct checkout isn't available or appropriate.
Analytics, entitlements, A/B experiments, campaigns, and the iOS, Android, Flutter, and React Native SDKs are available without an MRR cap. You pay only when revenue routes through direct checkout.
