What are the emerging trends shaping the future of the in-app purchase market?
Many firms in the in-app purchases market are prioritizing innovation in their solutions, including the development of fresh payment option features, in order to simplify user transactions and boost convenience. A payment option feature refers to a functionality offering various modes of payment completion to users within the app. Specifically, Google Play, a branch of US-based technology company Google LLC, rolled out the innovative feature, Ask Someone Else to Pay, in May 2024. This feature empowers users to ask someone else to pay for their in-app purchases, thereby augmenting payment flexibility within the ecosystem. Users have the facility to generate a link at the press of a button, which can then be shared through text or messaging platforms, thus inviting someone else to make the payment. Moreover, the sender will receive a notification that the recipient needs to know their email address to view the item that's being bought. The recipient is given a 24-hour window to complete the payment, beyond which the request lapses.
