Once users choose Kakao Pay to make payments on the Google Play Store, they can automatically use it for transactions on YouTube as well, according to company officials.
Kakao Pay money can be charged through banking accounts that have been connected to Kakao Pay. Users can check their billing history via Kakao Pay or KakaoTalk app.
“We started providing the service to users with iOS and Android devices. We’ll put more effort for the 30 million Kakao Pay users by offering a convenient and secure payment service in various fields,” the company said in a statement.
