In short, developers can now list pay-for apps and users can now buy them via either the AndAppStore website or the AndAppStore on-device client (yup, that does meant that users can buy apps via the website then download them to their Android device using the AndAppStore client). Oh, and AndAppStore takes *nothing* out of the payment, so the only fees developers pay are those imposed PayPal.
If you want the details; We've used PayPal because of it's multi- currency support. This means we can allow developers can list their app prices in US Dollars, Euros, and/or UK Pounds and set the price separately in each currency (e.g. developers can specify their app costs 1.50 USD, 1.00 EUR, or 1.00 GBP if they wanted to), but users get to choose which currency they want to pay in. Developers can list in only one or two of the currencies if they want, and the prices will only be shown in those currencies, so there's no need for developers to manually work out the price in other currencies if they don't want to. The integration uses PayPals web interface which allows PayPal to process cards which have Verified by Visa or MasterCard SecureCode security measures associated with them (which is becoming more common), and we've provided a method that allows apps to check if a user has made the purchase so that apps can ensure they're being used by people who've paid for them. Hopefully thats' enough to wet developers appetites, comments are, as always, are welcomed.
