Who can use Chrome Web Store Payments

If you're in one of the following regions, you can sell apps using Chrome Web Store Payments:

• Australia
• Austria
• Belgium
• Canada
• Denmark
• Finland
• France
• Germany
• Hong Kong
• Italy
• Japan
• Netherlands
• New Zealand

You can sell to buyers in any of the above regions. In the future, we expect to support sales to the following additional regions: Argentina, Brazil, India, Mexico, and Poland. Buyers in unsupported regions might be able to purchase apps, but they can't pay in their local currency and might have to pay international transaction fees.

Google's transaction fee

Each time someone buys your app using Chrome Web Store Payments, Google charges you a transaction fee that is calculated using this formula:

5% * (application price - fixed fee) + fixed fee

The fixed fee in each region is approximately equivalent to $0.30 in US dollars. For example, in the United Kingdom the fee is expected to be 20p. The fee is charged in the buyer's currency. For example, if a US developer sells an app to a UK buyer, then the US seller gets the US dollar equivalent of the UK price minus the UK transaction fee.

To illustrate how the transaction fee works, assume you sell an app in the US for $1.99. The transaction fee will be $0.38 (.05 * 1.69 + .30), and you will receive $1.61 in payment (in your local currency). Google Checkout sends out payments once per month.

The following table shows the transaction fee for purchases by buyers who are in a particular region, in that region's currency.

Note: The following EU regions are supported: Austria, Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain.
