Several app developers may soon have to pay 6% commission to Google: Report

From October 31 Indian app developers and startups offering videos, audio content, or e-books may have to pay only a 6 per cent commission for the in-app purchases on Google Play Store, a report by Economic Times (ET) stated. This comes after Google announced a change in its billing system allowing the developers to pay via mechanisms other than the Google Play billing system. 

Other apps will have to pay around 11 per cent commission if they choose to pay from other platforms, the report added. 

The latest commission rates are considerably lower than the original rates introduced by Google
