===Payment Support===
We will be removing have removed support for payments, for both paid apps and in-app payments. The web gives developers the freedom to choose any payment method, and Firefox Marketplace should not be a gatekeeper. If you have payments set up, it means you may need to change your payment provider, make your app free, and/or move payments to be contained within your app or website. We apologize for any inconvenience this causes. We will continue to allow submissions and updates for free Firefox OS phone apps, and there are millions of users that we will continue to support.
