iPhone developers on return payment

Mar 26th 2009 by

iPhone developers who sell their applications on the App Store have to pay 30% of the purchase amount to Apple if a customer wants his money back.  Customers who are unsatisfied about an application can claim their money within 90 days through the customer service of the App Store.

Normally Apple pays 70% of the purchase amount to the developer and keeps 30% for itself.

But when a customer is realy unsatisfied and claims his money, the developer has to repay the full 100% to Apple, instead of the 70% which he orginaly received.

With return payment Apple gains 30%, which has to be paid by the developer. So in fact the developer could bankrupt if customers massively ask their money back.
