In-app payment support arrives on Android

by Lee Mathews on March 30, 2011 at 10:30 AM

Right on cue, Google has launched in-app payment support for Android applications. Developer testing began last week, and now many popular apps -- like the ones pictured above -- can begin charging users for add-on functionality, content, or whatever the heck else they feel is worthy of additional bits of your pocket change. If you were wondering, Google will take the same 30% cut that Apple takes from in-app purchases.

At last we can buy individual issues in Comics with minimal fuss!

Neutral

As usual, they don't take other countries into account. I would have thought Google would add payment options like DIRECTebanking or Ogone, where I live - you'd only really use a credit card for traveling so most people don't own one. I expected more payment options - Google won't see my money then.. their loss.
