This new payment option allows you to offer subscribers more affordable options. People can cancel their subscription at any time, which will prevent the subscription from renewing after they\u2019ve completed their agreed-to payments to fulfill their commitment.<\/p>\n<p>To provide transparency, people can easily view the number of completed and remaining payments for the subscription in their Apple&nbsp;Account. Apple will also send email and, if opted in, push notifications ahead of their renewal date to remind them of their upcoming purchase.<\/p>\n<p>You can now configure this type of subscription in App&nbsp;Store&nbsp;Connect and test it in Xcode. With the exception of the United States and Singapore, monthly subscriptions with a 12-month commitment will be available worldwide to people on iOS&nbsp;26.4, iPadOS&nbsp;26.4, macOS&nbsp;Tahoe&nbsp;26.4, tvOS&nbsp;26.4, and visionOS&nbsp;26.4, or later, with the release of iOS&nbsp;26.5, iPadOS&nbsp;26.5, macOS&nbsp;Tahoe&nbsp;26.5, tvOS&nbsp;26.5, and visionOS&nbsp;26.5 in&nbsp;May.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/developer.apple.com\/help\/app-store-connect\/manage-subscriptions\/offer-auto-renewable-subscriptions\">Learn about <span class=\"icon icon-after icon-chevronright nowrap\">configuring subscriptions<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/developer.apple.com\/app-store\/subscriptions\/\">Learn about <span class=\"icon icon-after icon-chevronright nowrap\">auto-renewable subscriptions<\/span><\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today, we\u2019re introducing a new way that people can pay for your auto-renewable subscriptions on the App&nbsp;Store: monthly subscriptions with a 12-month commitment.
