Looking to streamline the Google Play payment process, Google this week expanded payment options to include PayPal and more carrier billing in a multitude of countries.

The company in a blog post said it has added PayPal as a payment mechanism in 12 countries, including the U.S., Germany, and Canada. Buyers can find PayPal as an option in Google Wallet for purchasing apps or digital goods, but PayPal can't be used to buy devices or accessories in the store. Also, carrier billing, which lets users charge purchases directly to their phone bills, has been expanded to 24 countries, including Singapore, Thailand, and Taiwan. Meanwhile, Google Play gift cards are now available in 13 countries, including Japan and Germany.
