Google prepares to open Chrome Web Store

Internet giant Google is preparing to open the Chrome Web Store ahead of the release of its open-source Chrome operating system towards the end of the year.

In a blog post, Google engineer Qinming Fang outlined some new features to help developers prepare for the launch of the store, suggesting payment methods and ways to make the online sales process easier.

“We also added the ability to see how your app will appear in the store. When you preview an uploaded app, you’ll see our new design of the app’s landing page. As before, your apps are only visible to you during the developer preview until the store launches later this year,” he said in the post.

The store will offer apps for free, or through several payment options including one-time payments, monthly payments or even yearly payments.
