Description Robert Ancell 2016-02-18 18:17:30 UTC 
In Ubuntu we have paid applications and GNOME Software currently doesn't have the concept. This would require adding UI for paying and plugin support for the concept.

The norm for the actual payment UI is to use a WebView containing the actual payment interaction (credit cards etc).

Ideally we would support a number of payment models:
- Fixed price (e.g. $5)
- Pay what you like ($0+)
- Make donation (i.e. pay what you like after downloaded)
- Sufficient flexibility for different payment methods (I think the WebView can probably cover this)

This support would enable donations (bug 708269).

Sure, I'm not opposed to having this in GS. It'd need to be pluggable, but I can't see any problem with it in concept.
