Sry dear journalists – Google stops One Pass
One Pass: Google`s payment system that allows users to subscribe to online content for a 10% commission fee is over.
The move came after rival Apple was criticised over its payment system which takes 30% of the sale price.
One Pass worked for one year on tablets and smartphones, as well as Google-related websites.
One Pass launched in the UK, Canada, France, Germany, Italy and Spain.
The announcement came just after Apple announced new rules for publishers selling subscriptions on its iOS platform.
Apple says companies must now offer users the option to buy directly through an iTunes account, handing 30% of the price to Apple.
Previously, vendors were allowed to simply direct customers to an external website, keeping all of the profits.
Google told berlinstartup.com.
Sorry journalist, we should have to stop it.
It was just an experiment with different models to see what works best…
