I have to be honest with you. I never really thought of using PayPal to make purchases other than eBay, but it seems to be steadily growing. First, Samsung introduced support for using the PayPal app in conjunction with their fingerprint scanner, and now Google jumps in allowing consumers in 12 countries to make purchases in Google Play using their PayPal accounts. There is one caveat though, and it’s for only apps and digital content, so hardware and accessories aren’t included.
You will find the option in your Google Wallet. All they have to do is enter your PayPal credentials and you will be good to go.
In addition, Google is expanding carrier billing, which allows you to charge Google Play purchases to your phone bill. Seven more countries were added, including Singapore, Thailand, and Taiwan. This brings the total to 24 countries.
Google Play gift cards also expanded as they are now available in 13 countries, including Japan and Germany.
Finally, Developers in 13 new countries can now sell apps in Google Play. Some of these new countries include Indonesia, Malaysia, and Turkey. The total number of countries is now 45, and they have increased their buyer currency support to 28 countries.
