So, how exactly it is helpful?<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pocketnow.com\/files\/2020\/06\/image-155.png\" width=\"309\" height=\"651\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Instead of going through the in-app subscription channel, users can now directly read about an app&rsquo;s subscription model directly on the Play Store and buy it. Notably, users can buy an app&rsquo;s subscription even if the app is not installed on their phone. Aside from being convenient for users, this model also makes it easier for developers to sell subscriptions directly from the app&rsquo;s listing.<\/p>\n<p>Apps that follow this new subscription method &ndash; which is based on the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/android-developers.googleblog.com\/2020\/06\/meet-google-play-billing-library.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Android Billing Library Version 3<\/a>&nbsp;&ndash; will show information such as billing cost, subscription duration, the services it offers, and term of the free trial among other details on the listing page. Users no longer have to download an app to read its subscription model, and thus can avoid fraudulent charges from sketchy apps.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tags\">\n<div><strong>See Campaign: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/pocketnow.com\/google-is-testing-app-subscriptions-directly-from-the-play-store-instead-of-in-app-method\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/pocketnow.com\/google-is-testing-app-subscriptions-directly-from-the-play-store-instead-of-in-app-method<\/a><br \/><b>Contact Information:<\/b><br \/>Nadeem Sarwar<\/p>\n<p><b>Tags:<\/b><br \/><a href=\"\"><\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/news-category\/wire\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Wire<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/global-regions\/united-states\/\" rel=\"category tag\">United States<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/language\/english\/\" rel=\"category tag\">English<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\" alt=\"image\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" class=\"cwdfimg\" \/><\/div>\n<div>\n<h3>Contact Information:<\/h3>\n<p>Nadeem Sarwar<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"233\" height=\"24\" src=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/4126-logo-1-679.png\" alt=\"\">Apps that follow this subscription method will show information such as billing cost, subscription duration, services it offers, etc. on the listing page.
