Once you\u2019ve localized your app, it\u2019s time to get ready for an international and localized launch. Here\u2019s how you can localize your App Store product page, set international pricing, and adapt your marketing strategy.<\/p>\n

Localize your product page<\/h3>\n

Localize your App Store metadata, such as your app description, keywords, and screenshots, for each of the countries or territories in which you offer your app. You can also translate your app\u2019s name and tailor your keywords to reflect the values of each market so your app might better resonate with the local audience.<\/p>\n

Learn about international payment methods and pricing<\/h3>\n

The App Store handles payment processing, so it\u2019s easy to offer your content to users around the world. Users pay for your apps and in-app purchases with credit or debit cards, carrier billing, digital wallets, or App Store and iTunes gift cards, depending on regional availability.<\/p>\n

When pricing your apps and in-app purchases, you\u2019ll choose a price tier in App Store Connect that contains prices already adjusted appropriately for the market in each country or region. For auto-renewable subscriptions, you can choose from 200 price points across all available currencies and price tiers to offer appropriate pricing for each location.<\/p>\n

Adapt your marketing strategy<\/h3>\n

When launching your app in a new market, adapt your marketing strategy to the region to help your audience easily learn about your app and the value it provides. Research which social networks or other channels are most popular with local audiences, as these may vary significantly across markets, and use them to spread the word about your app. Localize any materials you use in your marketing and user acquisition efforts, such as screenshots, banners, and advertisements.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

App Store Badges<\/strong><\/p>\n

Use the Download on the App Store badge in your communications as a clear call to action to download your app. Localized badges are available to let your international audience know that your app is tailored for them. Download badges from the App Store Marketing Guidelines<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Search Ads<\/strong><\/p>\n

In addition, you can drive discovery of your app with Apple Search Ads, which lets you promote your app at the top of relevant App Store search results in more than 59 countries and regions. See Search Ads<\/a> to learn more and read developer success stories.<\/p>\n
