Google has added PayPal support to its Google Play Store today. It is a somewhat surprising move considering PayPal is a competitor to Google's own payment service, but it's great news for users. Now you can pay for your apps, and music, or other content via the payment service we all use most, PayPal. Google announced the news in a blog post today.
PayPal support is limited to 13 countries, but I'm sure more will come in the future. Here is a list of the countries currently supported:
Austria
Belgium
Canada
Finland
France
Germany
Ireland
Italy
Netherlands
Spai
United States
United Kingdom
Starting today, we're making it possible for people to choose PayPal for their Google Play purchases in 12 countries, including the U.S., Germany, and Canada. When you make a purchase on Google Play in these countries, you'll find PayPal as an option in your Google Wallet; just enter your PayPal account login and you'll easily be able to make purchases. Our goal is to provide users with a frictionless payment experience, and this new integration is another example of how we work with partners from across the payments industry to deliver this to the user.
