This information is critical for a lot of developers as the percentage cut Google takes will determine if they want to go through the hassle of switching payment processors. The company said it will reveal more details about that in the coming weeks and months. With the new announcement, Google is offering a 4% discount on fees to developers.

The company gave a 3% discount on fees for developers using third-party billing in the EEA region. The new guidelines are an extension of that.

The search giant introduced a similar policy for non-gaming developers and users in the EEA region in July. The company is calling all non-gaming developers globally to apply for this program, and if they qualify, they can use third-party payment systems in the above-mentioned regions. Google announced today it’s expanding the user choice billing program for Play Store - which lets users choose alternative payment systems for in-app purchases - to India, Australia, Indonesia, Japan and the European Economic Area.
