Android users can pay cash on Google Play.

The version currently available in Japan and Mexico allows users to buy paid apps by paying cash in convenience stores. Google will follow up with the ability to pay for the transactions built into the application and will probably make the option available in other developing countries.

All they need to do is show the cashier the transaction code when they pay within the time limit so their accounts can be credited with the amount. If all goes well, their payments will be processed in as little as 10 minutes, but it could take up to 48 hours if something goes wrong. Unfortunately, transactions paid through this option can not be refunded. It's a good thing that users can think about their decision when they go to the store.

Google has launched the new payment option as emerging markets are a growth area for developers. The hope is to turn free users into paying users. Cash transactions are still preferred in these areas, after all, where few people have access to credit cards and do not always have postpaid plans.
