Distribute Direct. Keep 90%.
Turn your own website into one more distribution channel. Players download your game from your site and pay through the same billing integration that runs on Aptoide and partner stores.
How Direct Downloads Work
Direct downloads add a new distribution and acquisition channel. Players who find your game on a store install it there, while players who visit your website install it from your page.
Copy your D2C URL
Open your app's D2C Download Link tab in the Aptoide Connect Console and copy the URL.
Link your Download button
Point the Download button on your website to that URL. You set it once: the link always serves your latest version.
Players install from your page
They download and install your game straight from your website.
Keep 90% of net sales
Every purchase in the version installed from your website runs through Aptoide's in-app billing.
Every Purchase Runs on Aptoide Billing
More than 30 payment methods in 80+ countries: cards and wallets such as Visa, Mastercard, PayPal and Amazon Pay, and local methods such as Pix and PayPay.
We Handle Tax, Fraud and Refunds
Aptoide Connect is the merchant of record for sales made through your D2C link, just as on our stores: in the territories it covers, we handle digital sales tax, VAT, fraud, disputes and refunds.

Common Questions
Do I need a separate integration to distribute from my own website?
No. The version players install from your website runs on the same Aptoide billing integration as your app on Aptoide and partner stores.
How much of each in-app purchase do I keep with direct-to-consumer?
90% of net sales (in-app purchase gross minus sales taxes) when your app uses Aptoide billing.
Which version of my app does the D2C link serve?
Your latest live version, or your latest approved version if you switch that on in the Console. You set the link on your Download button once and never have to change it.
Does direct-to-consumer replace my store listings?
No, it adds a channel beside them. Your app stays on Aptoide and partner stores, and your website becomes one more place to install it.
Do installs and purchases from my website count toward my account?
Yes. Every install and in-app transaction through your D2C link is attributed to your Aptoide Connect account.
Which payment methods can players use?
The same methods as on our stores: more than 30 across 80+ countries, including local ones such as Pix and PayPay.
Who handles tax and refunds on sales from my website?
In the territories where Aptoide Connect is the merchant of record, it handles digital sales tax, VAT, fraud, disputes and refunds on sales through your D2C link, just as on our stores. The territories are listed in Annex I of the Developer Distribution Agreement.
