If it connects to Play Store, then isn't that the same as Aurora? Can people's accounts be banned? That would really suck to pay for something and lose it because Google banned you haha!

It really sucks but there is no other widely supported standard for in-app purchases. Some services refuse to use credit/debit cards payments for some reason.
