Google opens the Play Store to external billing in the US, UK, and Europe next week - 9to5Google
Overview
Google will permit apps in the US, UK, and Europe to use external payment systems on the Play Store starting June 30, allowing developers to offer billing outside Google’s payments flow. This change could reduce fees and increase payment choices for developers and users, but it also raises questions about security, fraud prevention, and consistent enforcement of Play Store policies. Paired with other platform updates such as app battery‑usage warnings, the move shows Google is recalibrating how it balances developer flexibility, user protections, and control of the ecosystem.
