Please resolve the issue within 7 days of the issuance of this notification or your app will be removed from Google Play. Issue with your app Your app contains content that doesn’t comply with the Payments policy. Please see the attached screenshot for more information. About the Payments policy Apps that employ in-store or in-app purchases must comply with the Payments policy guidelines. Specifically, Google Play's billing system must not be used in cases where payments include tax exempt donations. Action required: Submit an updated app within 7 days Here’s what to do to help make sure that your app stays available on Google Play: 1. Read through the Payments policy for more details. 2. If the donations are for an eligible tax-exempt organization, please provide verifiable documentation that indicates the organization’s tax-exempt status (e.g., Internal Revenue Service determination letter for entities in the United States) through the Advance Notice Form.  If the organization is not a tax-exempt organization, you must remove the donation functionality from your app or use Google Play's in-app billing system when collecting donations. 3. Double check that your app is compliant with all other Developer Program Policies.  4. Sign in to your Play Console and submit the update to your app. Contact support If you’ve reviewed the policy and feel our decision may have been in error, please reach out to our policy support team.

Thanks for sending that!

I think they're off-target on this / have analyzed it incorrectly, but I'll do what I can do get it sorted of course :-)
