It also gives details about who can use Chrome Web Store Payments, and how much of the purchase price you can expect to receive.

Google's transaction fee
Each time someone buys your app using Chrome Web Store Payments, Google charges you a 5% transaction fee. For example, if you charge $1.99, you'll receive $1.89; if you charge $9.99, you'll receive $9.49.
Note: In-app payments for ARC apps are subject to a 30% transaction fee. For example, if you charge $1.99 for an item offered in an ARC app, you’ll receive $1.39. This is to ensure a consistent pricing structure with in-app payments made in apps available on Google Play. ARC does not currently support other purchase models including up-front payments, subscriptions and in-app version upgrades; as these types of purchases require provisioning from Google Play which is not currently enabled. For more information on monetizing ARC apps, see Getting Started with ARC.
Note: Google Checkout sends out payments once per month in your local currency.
Price tiers
The following table shows the pricing tiers for each region. Each "You get" row shows approximately the payment you should expect per sale at each price.
Note: You can add a custom value for any pricing tier within each region's range. A warning tells you if you've added a custom value that is higher or lower than the range.
