# open()

Presents a continuation sheet that enables people to choose whether to open your app’s link to an external website for account creation or management.

## Declaration

```swift
static func open() async throws
```

## Discussion

Discussion Call this method in response to deliberate user interaction, for example, tapping a button. Call canOpen to determine whether to display a button or other user-interface control. If canOpen is false, this method always throws a StoreKitError instance.
