According to google, that is not correct. They levy a 30% fee on all Play Store transactions for apps and IAP. I've seen articles that say they are cutting the fee to 15% for businesses with under $1m revenue, but that's not what the support page says.

Buying physical goods and services may not count, in the same way that they don't count on the Apple App Store.
- kllrnohj 5y agoIt's a 30% fee if you use Play Store's IAP system. It's not a 30% fee to use Google Pay as a payment provider ( https://support.google.com/pay/merchants/answer/6288971?hl=en https://support.google.com/pay/merchants/answer/6288971?hl=e... ) Same distinction exists on Apple's side with IAP vs. Apple Pay. For example Apple Pay on the Web ( https://developer.apple.com/documentation/apple_pay_on_the_web https://developer.apple.com/documentation/apple_pay_on_the_w... ) doesn't take anywhere close to a 30% cut. In fact it, like Google Pay, is also free for merchants, who just have to pay the normal payment processor fees. https://squareup.com/us/en/townsquare/apple-pay-for-small-businesses-how-to-accept-it https://squareup.com/us/en/townsquare/apple-pay-for-small-bu...
- nullifidian 5y agoTo use Google Pay this way, you'll have to find a payment processor that handles local taxes and all that. As a developer from a country where Stripe isn't available, it's a significant hurdle.
