Hi,
i was thinking about having in app purchase in my game but as the title says, i can’t. I’ve tried to search up here for any good solutions, but haven’t had any luck.
What are my options really?
-A friend, maybe…they are all scared about taxes, can’t blame them.
-A company, too expensive and impractical.
-Union? (do they release the game for you if it’s for this reason)
The only real choice is to find a company to distribute your game for a cut of your profits. There are a few places that do it. While it costs you, the upside is they have vested interest in selling it.
I feel your pain … my country is not supported as well.
This has got to be the biggest financial injustice created by one company in the entire existence of mankind - Shame on you Google!
Any ideas where i can find these places?
@shaderbytes:
Yes google seems to be very slow in adding support for other countries. But in their defence, this country is really slow to show interest.
Chillingo is one I can think of, there are probably lots of them cause it seems like a good risk free business to be in.
Often the reason for not being in a country is tax reasons and what is the tax obligations on currently sold apps (for google not you!).
I wish the real reason was fully disclosed to the public with detailed reports on when or if an attempt to create a selling status with my country was made because ATM we are just left completely in the dark and this is extremely frustrating.
What makes it even more painful is the fact that we are capable of purchasing anything from the Google store … which obviously means I have a Google Wallet linked to my credit card… they don’t seem to have any tax problems taking my money 
Chillingo aren’t they and other like a publishing company that take ownership and 60~% of the profits? And they have to like the game first probably.
I know that taxes are the problem. It’s impossible for me to create a bank account in Austria and try to sort things out here with the taxes - because of the taxes.
Edit.
Anyone had any luck with Amazon iap?
Unless you know for sure that you will get enough profit from your app in Google Play its not worth the trouble to use alternative ways to get your stuff on sale
If i knew it’s not going to make profit i would stop working on it right now. In a month or two i’ll have something for the WIP section ready, we’ll see the reactions there.
Just hate to work on something for months and then fail short on this.
I don’t know the percentages, I am sure you can google and find other examples. Yes they probably take a fair percentage but they do market it as well. Most publishers don’t want to publish things they don’t think they can make money from because it costs them in marketing.
Hi, I have the same problem, and for now I think the only way to get any profit is AdMob 
, and you will get lots of downloads
Aw man, same problem here, only now I realize about this…
If you can’t be a google merchant, can you still profit from ads?
Yes, admob and other add providers don’t have a problem with this.
Hola dogzer, pudiste resolver? Soy de Venezuela y estoy teniendo el mismo problema, no sé por donde mas podría ganar el dinero que generen mis apps.
