All purchases in Google Play and the Chrome Web Store are subject to a transaction fee to the merchant. These fees vary by currency and platform (Google Play vs. Chrome Web Store).
Google Play transaction fees to the developer
The transaction fee for all purchases in Google Play (apps and in-app purchases) is 30% of the price the customer pays. In other words, developers get 70% of the payment and the remaining 30% goes to the distribution partner and operating fees.
