Android payment gateway [closed]

Question

I am just finishing up an android app and would like to add a subscribe button to the app for a monthly subscription to use the app. What would be the best payment integration to use? Can I use paypal and still put the app on google play store? Thankss

Answer 1

No, you are not allowed to sell app content through paypal, if you publish your app in the Play store, per Google Developer content policy:

http://play.google.com/about/developer-content-policy.html

App purchases:

Developers charging for applications and downloads from Google Play must do so by using Google Play's payment system.

In-app purchases:

Developers offering additional content, services or functionality within an application downloaded from Google Play must use Google Play's payment system as the method of payment, except: where payment is primarily for physical goods or services (e.g. buying movie tickets; e.g. buying a publication where the price also includes a hard copy subscription); or where payment is for digital content or goods that may be consumed outside of the application itself (e.g. buying songs that can be played on other music players) Developers must not mislead users about the applications they are selling nor about any in-app services, goods, content or functionality they are selling.
