What happens when someone buys your app on Google Play?

Hi,

I’m new to this app business, so still trying to figure out the process.

What happens when someone buys your app on Google Play? Do you have to manually charge their credit card then mark as shipped?

I have some experience selling physical goods using Google Checkout/Wallet, and for physical goods you have to charge the credit card within 7 days, then mark the order as shipped. Is the process different for Android apps?

Thanks.

Everything, from charging the credit card to delivering the product, will be handled automatically by Google Play. You can then see each order in your Google Checkout account but you do not have to manually go through each order and accept the payment or anything like that.
And if for some reason the purchase fails (if the card didn’t pass the security check for example) you will be notified about that through email.

Thanks! You’ve helped a lot :slight_smile:

Even refunds are automatic. :slight_smile:
