Selling In-app Products

 

In this class, you'll learn how to perform common In-app Billing operations from Android applications.

In-app billing is a service hosted on Google Play that lets you charge for digital content or for upgrades in your app. The In-app Billing API makes it easy for you to integrate In-app Billing into your applications. You can request product details from Google Play, issue orders for in-app products, and quickly retrieve ownership information based on users' purchase history. You can also query the Google Play service for details about in-app products, such as local pricing and availability. Google Play provides a checkout interface that makes user interactions with the In-app Billing service seamless, and provides a more intuitive experience to your users.

This class describes how to get started with the Version 3 API. To learn how to use the version 2 API, see Implementing In-App Billing (V2).
