OneStore said on Feb. 2 it is further strengthening cooperation with developers by shifting its 50 percent commission reduction policy for small developers to a permanent programme.

OneStore has implemented the policy since 2020 to support small businesses and individual developers and to promote development in the domestic industry through cooperation. It will end the practice of extending the programme on a one-year basis each year and will institutionalise it as an official policy for permanent operation.

As a result, small developers with monthly transactions of $5,000 or less will immediately receive a 50 percent cut in commissions. The policy applies to all content listed on OneStore, including games and apps. OneStore has applied a 20 percent commission rate, which it described as among the lowest in the industry, and will reduce it by half to 10 percent for small developers to further ease the burden.

Small developers will be able to reinvest the saved commissions in improving content quality and discovering new content, and the company said it expects this to strengthen a virtuous cycle in which competitive content is continuously released.

About 2,000 developers and about 16,000 pieces of content have benefited so far through OneStore's commission reduction for small developers, which it has implemented since 2020.

OneStore Chief Executive Tae-young Park (박태영) said permanent operation of the commission cut policy for small developers will provide an opportunity to further expand OneStore's philosophy of cooperation, which has grown together with developers. He said he hopes the policy will help strengthen the foundation of the domestic industry and support the creation of K-content that succeeds on the global stage.
