Google Play's billing system is a service that enables you to sell digital products and content in your Android app.

You can use Google Play's billing system to sell the following types of digital content:

One-time products: A one-time product is content that users can purchase with a single, non-recurring charge to the user's form of payment. One-time products can be either consumable or non-consumable: A consumable product is one that a user consumes to receive in-app content, such as in-game currency. When a user consumes the product, your app dispenses the associated content, and the user can

then purchase the item again. A non-consumable product is a product that is purchased only once to provide a permanent benefit. Examples include premium upgrades and level packs.

Subscriptions: A subscription is a product that provides access to content on a recurring basis. Subscriptions renew automatically until they're canceled. Examples of subscriptions include access to online magazines and music streaming services. The Google Play Console offers a lot of flexibility when creating subscription products. As examples, you can set the billing period, offer a free trial, offer an introductory price, provide grace periods when payment fails, and allow users to pause their subscriptions as an alternative to canceling.
