(Reuters) – Alphabet Inc’s Google said on Wednesday that it would allow Spotify to use its own payment system in its Android app as part of a new pilot.
Users who have downloaded Spotify from the Google Play Store will be presented with a choice to pay with either Spotify’s payment system or with Google Play Billing.
The pilot will allow a small number of participating developers, starting with Spotify, to offer an additional third party billing option next to Google Play’s billing system in their apps.
