I'm just guessing here, but to do that, the app would need to add all of the complexity of currency exchange, tax and consumer law from every single country they made it available to be purchased from. If you make the transaction in the US, they just use the local tax law and your credit card does the currency exchange on the back end. It doesn't mean they could not do it in the future, but adding that functionality introduces a lot more complexity to the transaction that would likely have delayed the rollout (just a guess).Disney simply have to register with the customs / tax authorities to be able to accept payments from EU and the UK.
It’s not difficult. Other organisations manage it just fine. That’s what makes me so angry about it.
