I believe the fee is only 20% if you use a third party billing system.
If one uses Google to process the payments the fee would be 25% (20% service fee + 5% billing fee) [1].

Is the Google billing system that good or easy? 5% sounds outrageous, but I guess if they make it 1-click easy, will scoop up everyone who is not big enough to work with a real payment processor.
I guess the question, what does an Amazon, Spotify, Uber, etc pay on the platform vs the 99% of businesses which are not a household name.
Aren't credit cards like 3.5% if you don't have a deal with them? 5% doesn't seem so bad. I've heard of 2% before
Charging double the competition seems pretty bad to me.
