I have uploaded an app on Google Play store which got rejected because I have a PayPal donation button in it. The exact reason is: "Your app contains content that doesn't comply with the Payments policy".

I'm reading Play Console's Payments policy, but I don't see anywhere mentioned that in-app donation are prohibited.

Am I missing something?

    isn't it in rule 4? `apps may not lead users to a payment method other than Google Play's billing system` – Ivo Apr 01 '22 at 12:33
  • *Play-distributed apps requiring or accepting payment for access to in-app features or services, including any app functionality, digital content or goods (collectively “in-app purchases”), must use Google Play’s billing system for those transactions unless Section 3 or Section 8 applies.* Rule 2 refers to purchases. Does this include donations? – Costas Apr 01 '22 at 12:40

You can accept donation if you meet the criteria below

1) Donations are only permitted for validated non-profit charitable organizations (for example, a validated 501(c)(3) charitable organization or the local equivalent).

2) Donations must be facilitated via a web browser, and any collection must be made through a secure payment system.

And, if you're not charitable organization then you must remove the donation functionality from your app, or accept payment through Google Play's in-app billing service. For more about in-app billing see Help Center
