Google Play merchant support has arrived in China, Google announced today.
As a result, local Android developers can now export and sell their apps to
Google Play users in more than 130 countries (but not in China itself, since
the actual Google Play store still isn’t available there).
Chinese developers can now offer both free and paid applications through
various monetization models available on Google Play, including in-app
purchasing and subscriptions. Google says revenue generated on Google Play
will be deposited directly into developers’ Chinese bank accounts via USD
wire transfers.
If you build Android apps in China, all you have to do is visit play.google.
com/apps/publish and register as a developer. If you want to sell apps and
in-app products, as opposed to simply distributing free apps, you’ll need
to also sign up for a Google Wallet merchant account (available on the “
Revenue” page in the Google Play Developer Console).

After signing up, you can upload your apps and set prices in the Developer
Console. Google will then start sending you revenue reports. More details
are available in Chinese on the developer help center.
It’s important to note that today’s news doesn’t mean Google is launching
the Google Play Store app in the country. In other words, Android users in
China still have to rely on third-party app stores such as Qihoo 360,
Tencent, Wandoujia, and multiple app stores owned by Google rival Baidu.
These stores have flourished because Google Play does not come preloaded on
Android devices in China, unlike in most countries across the world.
The arrival of merchant support follows a report from The Information
earlier today, which said Google is in discussions with the Chinese
government and potential carrier partners to launch the Google Play app
store in China. That may not be happening today, but it’s not out of the
question.
China is a massive market for any tech company, but for Google it is
particularly enticing. The country is estimated to account for roughly half
of the more than 1 billion Android users across the globe.
In 2010, Google shut down Google.cn over hacking allegations against the
Chinese government. The American company chose to cut ties rather than
continue censoring its search results in the country.
Google still maintains R&D and ad sales offices in China, however, and today
’s launch could be a first step to test the waters with Google Play. A
broader rollout for Chinese Android users in general could follow next year,
and with the Chinese government’s blessing, other Google services may roll
out as well. | z*******n 发帖数: 1034 | 2 https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answer/6112435?hl=zh
