Google today also announced a partnership with Bumble, with Bumble adding support in the coming months. Spotify is rolling out an initial test implementation of user choice billing to users in select countries starting this week. We believe that fair and open platforms enable better, frictionless consumer experiences that also empower developers to imagine, innovate, and thrive. Spotify has been publicly advocating for platform fairness and expanded payment options for years. In a blog post, Spotify said that Google has taken a "bold step to help level the playing field," and that "fair and open platforms" bring "frictionless consumer experiences." Google normally collects between 15 and 30 percent of in-app purchases, much like Apple. Spotify and other developers who eventually adopt User Choice Billing will still need to give Google a cut of their app sales and purchases, but at the reduced rate.
Spotify will be able to collect payments directly from users, and Google will charge Spotify four percent less than normal. User Choice Billing is essentially an alternative billing option for in-app purchases, and it comes with a reduced fee. Spotify is Google's first partner for " User Choice Billing," a feature that allows Android users to make purchases using the payment option they prefer.
Google today announced that popular streaming music service Spotify will be able to bill Android users directly in the Google Play version of Spotify without needing to go through the Google Play billing system.
