Google One Pass
Encyclopedia
Google One Pass is an online store developed by Google
for publishers looking to sell subscriptions to their content. Similar to the Android Market
, where "apps" are sold to users via their Android mobile devices, One Pass offers the ability for publishers of any size, from large mainstream media
companies to independent publishers, to sell their content through Google's new service. The content is made available through both the Internet
and Android mobile devices.
, Google shares in the revenue generated by all sales through One Pass. As of its launch date, revenue is split between the publisher and Google in a 90%/10% respectively. This is significantly less than Apple's competitive product that provides only 70% of the revenue to the publisher and keeps the remaining 30%.
Publishers determine the payments models and have full control over the content they are charging for and content they offer for free. The system itself manages the user authentication, payment processing, administration and the distribution to any device that is browser enabled and/or has a native mobile app that can distribute the content. The core idea is to allow the publishers to focus on what they do best and not worry about the hassle involved in building an online store.
Publishers will also have access to all of a customers information when the customer actually subscribes or purchases any content from the publisher. This may be part of the agreement the customer makes when signing up to use One Pass. In the Apple subscription system, publishers are only given user data if the user specifies that they can have it.
