Making payments to Apple

If you choose to agree to the new business terms in the European Union (EU), membership in the Apple Developer Program includes one million first annual installs per year for free for apps distributed from the App Store, Web Distribution, and/or alternative marketplaces. You’ll pay a Core Technology Fee of €0.50 for each first annual install over one million. If you’re the developer of an alternative app marketplace, you’ll pay the Core Technology Fee for every first annual install of the app marketplace, including installs that occur before one million.

Before your first invoice is issued, make sure you’ve updated your account for invoicing requirements, otherwise you may be invoiced without the applicable tax treatment applied or in the default currency based on your location.

Remit payments to Apple

You’ll need to provide payment to Apple within 30 days of the invoice date. You can pay directly from your bank using a unique, virtual routing number for your developer account that’s provided on the invoice.

When remitting payments to Apple, please ensure that you use the correct banking details that are quoted on your invoice. To ensure prompt allocation of your payment to your account, please ensure that you quote your invoice number with your payment.

If you’re sending a remittance advice along with your payment, please ensure that it’s sent to services.remittances@apple.com.

Please note that late payments accrue interest and nonpayment may result in the offset of App Store In-App Purchase proceeds owed to you, removal of the app from the App Store, or removal from the Apple Developer Program.
