The following is not necessarily technology related except for the fact that you use your device to access the service. Youtube is on the net, but the discussion here talks a little about credit card charges and purchasing, and is related for clarity but yet, needed to explain it because there’s an important change that is happening.
Thanks again for reading, and make it a great day!
Engadget is reporting that on March 13, 2020 or some time after, depending on your subscription, YouTube TV will not be billed through your Apple ID. According to the article, Google is forcing people to sign up through the web site for this service.
Depending on the subscription, Apple takes 15 or 30 percent of the price, and this has been a practice for some time.
Do they not remember by running a credit card, the credit card company takes a cut? For example, when I was billing through Superior Software’s billing system, it was 2.9 percent plus $1.28. This means the minimum charge was $15 for customers.
Paypal, stripe, and others may be 2.9 percent plus $0.30 yet others may have varying rates.
For us to get the money we’re due, we have to charge higher. For example, at the 2.9 percent plus $0.30 on a $100 charge, we get $96 and some change. This means, we need to charge $105 to $110 just to get $100.
As people who do business, we understand this. The article is quite informative, and I’ll let you guys read this one.
YouTube TV won’t work with App Store subscriptions after March 13th is the article and thanks for reading!
