Android Developers Have One Year to Switch to Google Billing

+Google confirmed that it will begin enforcing the use of its own payment system in the Play Store, but it’s giving developers one year to make the switch.

“We’ve always required developers who distribute their apps on Play to use Google Play’s billing system if they offer in-app purchases of digital goods, and pay a service fee from a percentage of the purchase,”

Google writes in its Android Developer blog, noting that it has not enforced this policy to date.

“We want to be sure our policies are clear and up to date so they can be applied consistently and fairly to all developers,

and so we have clarified the language in our Payments Policy to be more explicit that all developers selling digital goods in their apps are required to use Google Play’s billing system.”
