We’re pleased to announce that yesterday we’ve released a preview of the billing APIs for the Google Apps Marketplace. These APIs are designed to make it easy for web apps to collect subscription payments and manage user licenses and give customers a simple and consistent way to purchase and manage applications for their domains.

Thanks to a group of Marketplace vendors who have made their applications live with the API. As a result, apps like SlideRocket, GQueues, Cohuman, and WikiFYD are now accepting customer transactions using Google Checkout.

Stay tuned for more more news and details about the billing API. In the mean time, we encourage you to read the API documentation and payment policy and consult our FAQ for more information. We’d appreciate your feedback, and you can discuss this and other topics in our Google Apps Marketplace Developer Community group.
