[android-developers] Re: Paypal in Android

No, I'm not. And even if I claimed to be, if I were you I wouldn't be taking as verbatim what someone online claims to be a valid position. If in doubt, get out your wallet and go see a lawyer.

*My* understanding of the Google Play agreement would be that it applies to to app payments too, however those payments are made. But if you were directing them to a website and the payments were made through the website that is another matter.

Read the agreement. http://www.android.com/us/developer-distribution-agreement.html

Actually on re-reading it now, I can't see any the terms I thought were there, so who knows.

Only if you intend to violate the terms of your agreement with Google Play .

Are you a lawyer, William?

> 1) You cannot use a payment mechanism other than Google Play for an app distributed via Google Play.

That's just to pay for the app itself, isn't it? Surely not for purchases made via the app.

 

2) You cannot use Google Play to charge for physical goods.

So what *are* you allowed to use to charge for physical goods, or other services?
