I am going to be supporting In-App billing/ purchases in my app.

From what I have read, it seems the Play Store app must be installed on the device in order to do In-App billing. I have 2 Android devices for testing. Both are missing the Play Store app. I am sure this situation will exist for users of my app.

Question: What does an Android developer do when their app supports In-App billing but the Play Store app is not installed on the device?

As far as I know, there is no way to do a market payment if they do not have the market.

You could see if the market is installed and if not, either provide a clear message saying so, possibly with instructions on how to get it, or link to some other payment method like paypal in a web browser.
