I have an iphone app and android app which are ecommerce "shops"

In these apps, I want to create a "web" view to enable the user to buy my products (i.e. clothes, ...) via Paypal web-mobile or Google Checkout web-mobile

Am I going against the terms and conditions ?

If yes : are there other solutions ?

Thank you

I think you should look at In-App billing. http://developer.android.com/guide/market/billing/index.html

This will enable users to purchase with their existing Google Checkout/Market accounts.

  • I believe that in-app billing is restricted to virtual goods - they don't want you buying real-world stuff with that particular billing system. – Haphazard Jun 23 '11 at 00:31
  • That is rigth, in-app is for buying, say, a magic wand for your game character. – daniloquio Sep 21 '11 at 13:39

For web apps, have a look at Google In-App Payments (currently in developer-preview mode):
