Curiously, their Android app database (msgstore.db) has had a "pay_transactions" table, and a "payment_transaction_id" column on the "messages" table, present for about a couple of years now.

I guess they've been planning/testing this for a while.

They've been testing it in India for around 2 years, but had been held up in releasing it more widely there by regulators.
