Google adds recurring payments on Google Play

The news, which should appeal to developers, large and small - Google has added the function of periodic payments (subscriptions) in Google Play. So for the creators of gaming applications, and not only gaming, and paid applications in general, a pleasant time is coming. Adding subscriptions to applications can increase developer revenue, and quite significantly.

All subscriptions are automatically updated; there are two types of subscriptions: monthly and annual. The prices are set by the developers themselves. There is an HTTP API for publishers that allows you to confirm or cancel subscriptions. Buyers, therefore, also have an excellent opportunity to make regular payments for the right to use any software, if there is no desire or ability to pay for the program immediately.

Now this feature is not available for all developers, testing is being conducted with a number of selected companies, including Glu Mobile. This company is known for its gaming applications, for example, Gun Bros. These applications brought the company 17 million dollars only in the first quarter of this year, so there is something to test the company.

The shares of developer income and the corporation itself are the same as those used for paid applications now. Google, as you know, gets about 30% for the sale of the application.
