You can, but I don't think you're supposed to direct your users to put their credit card info in, that all needs to be handled somewhere outside the app (with a message like please sign in on our website). Which seems very blatantly anticompetitive to me.
Now that I think of it, Uber has you put your credit card in. I'm not sure why that's allowed
- themacguffinman 7y agoIt's allowed because Play Store in-app billing is only required for digital goods & services fulfilled by the app, not physical goods & services fulfilled outside your device. Uber isn't selling you app functionality, they're selling you the physical service of transportation, so they're exempt. Quote from policy [1]: Developers offering products within another category of app downloaded on Google Play must use Google Play In-app Billing as the method of payment, except for the following cases: - Payment is solely for physical products - Payment is for digital content that may be consumed outside of the app itself (e.g. songs that can be played on other music players).
