Small Business Program dates

Enter when Apple's reduced Small Business Program commission applied, so revenue matches your proceeds.

If your account is in the Apple Small Business Program, Apple keeps a reduced commission of about 15%. Voidhash uses the Start date and optional End date to compute your proceeds at that rate. Leave the tab empty if you're not in the program.

App Store Connect shows neither date, so work them out:

Find the date of Apple's email accepting your enrollment.
The reduced rate starts 15 days after the end of the Apple fiscal month in which you were accepted, not on the acceptance date.
Confirm it in your proceeds reports: the first payments with the reduced commission show the real start.
In Studio, on the Apple Small Business Program tab, enter that day as the Start date.
Turn on End date only if the standard rate resumed, because you left the program or your proceeds exceeded 1,000,000 USD in a calendar year. Enter the day it resumed.

Membership carries over each year while you remain eligible, so most accounts leave End date off.
