Starting February 14, 2025, new regulatory requirements in South Korea will apply to all apps with offers and trials for auto-renewing subscriptions.
To comply, if you offer trials or offers for auto-renewing subscriptions to your app or game, additional consent must be obtained for your trial or offer after the initial transaction. The App Store will help to get consent by informing the affected subscribers with an email, push notification, and in-app price consent sheet, and asking your subscribers to agree to the new price.
This additional consent must be obtained from customers within 30 days from the payment or conversion date for:
- Free to paid trials
- Discounted subscription offers to standard-price subscriptions
Apps that do not offer a free trial or discounted offer before a subscription converts to the regular price are not affected.
