title: Google Merchant Key for Android developers outside US and UK
body: <p>According to <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8384246/how-do-we-verify-android-in-app-billing-receipt-on-the-server-side">How do we verify Android in-app billing receipt on the server side?</a>, Android developers can use Google Checkout API (<a href="https://developers.google.com/checkout/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://developers.google.com/checkout/</a>) in order to verify Android in-apps on the server side.
  In order to take the most of all the functionality of this API (there is a good PHP library in <a href="http://code.google.com/p/google-checkout-php-sample-code/wiki/Documentation" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://code.google.com/p/google-checkout-php-sample-code/wiki/Documentation</a>) we need the Merchant Key, but it looks like the Merchant Key is only pertinent to the Google Checkout API for web sites (not for Android), and people outside US or UK, cannot get this Merchant Key.</p>
  
  <p>Is that true? Can't Android Developer get the Merchant Key (Google Play Developer Console says that License keys are now managed for each app individually, but I don't know how to get o set-up the Merchant Key)?
  If not, how can we verify Android in-apps on the server side?</p>
