Moreover, apart from the additional work they would have to undertake, both with integration and re-onboarding of customers, almost all of them would see their margins get thinner owing to migrating to a much higher commission rate (30 per cent/15 per cent) from the present rates (1 per cent-2 per cent) being levied by their existing payment providers, the industry body elaborated.
“The announcement does nothing to address the issues and challenges of scores of developers who stand to be affected by the earlier announcement by Google of forced adoption of their billing system by March 2022,” the ADIF stressed. The cut will improve their margins – should they fall into the “right” categories that the company deemed fit for Google’s relaxation in margins. The announcement might come as a source of happiness for the subset of developers who are already on the Google billing system. “The portrayal and grandstanding, as a measure that fully acknowledges and addresses the concerns of developers, is misleading and objectionable,” he added. George further said that “deflect and distract” seems to be what’s in play here. Google had said this wasn’t new and its payments policy has always required this. In India, start-ups have been claiming that Google abuses its monopoly, enforcing the billing system.
