At the Google
I/O conference back in May, Vikas Gupta introduced
a preview of the Google In-App Payments API during the Chrome keynote speech. Google In-App
Payments purchases were demonstrated as a simple click right within a web app, so buyers could
enjoy a developer’s content, without interruption.
Today, we’re making
Google In-App Payments
available for all web application developers to integrate with their web apps wherever they’re
hosted, including the Chrome Web
Store. Integration is simple with just a few lines of code. And pricing is set at
just 5-percent.
In-App Payments is initially available
for developers with a United States bank account and for buyers in more than 140 countries. We
look forward to expanding to additional developer locations as quickly as possible.
