City views, tacos, and real conversations about paywalls and funnels. That was App Leaders Hours SF. 馃寜
Thanks to everyone who came out for an honest night of app growth talk on the rooftop. And to @FunnelFoxhq, @BluethroneApps, and @AppMastersCo for co-hosting with us!

FastSpring retweeted
Sales tax in Germany, VAT in France, consumption tax in Japan. Selling games globally means all of it, unless someone else is handling it.
For close to 20 years, that's been @FastSpring's job.
They're at PGC Nordics this October!

Sort this out before the holiday rush, not during the January cleanup.

A processor calculating the tax does not move that liability off your desk.
With a merchant of record, that entire list of obligations is ours instead. Same sale; same invoice; very different risk for you.

California is narrower on exemptions than most states, so many business invoices get the new tax line too.
And if you sell directly through a payment processor, the obligation is yours: registration, filing, remittance, and the audit exposure.

So the $50 subscription someone buys during your holiday push renews in January near $55, with no way for them to get the difference back.
Many businesses assume B2B purchases are exempt. They are not.

California's SB 122 makes prewritten software taxable, no matter how it is delivered. Add local and district taxes, and combined rates can reach up to 11.25%.

On January 1, 2027, California is making digital products taxable!
That lands closely after Cyber Weekend. New subscribers before the change won't be impacted, however if their renewal is after, the Californian subscribers among them WILL be impacted. buff.ly/FFK2twy

Getting users to pay is only the beginning. The panel digs into how onboarding, paywalls, pricing, packaging, trials, and web-based purchase journeys work together to drive sustainable revenue and where conversion tactics can actually hurt long-term value. See our lovely panel!

Most mobile app developers assume #web2app converts worse than in-app. The friction of leaving the app store feels like it should hurt.
