Is Google play billing service open source?

I want to make an app that has in-app payment inside it. But i want to implement in-app payments completely independently and not use Google Play or other markets in-app payments service. Since all Android marketplaces have built in-app payment services alike, I have guessed that all markets use the same source code for their apps and this part of the market code is open source (all of them copy GooglePlay market source code). Can anyone give me useful information about creating in-app payment services? Also, I don't want to use inventive methods , and i seek to learn how android markets create built-in in-app payment service in their app and why all of them have same implementation (for users)!!!

It's difficult to speak to "all Android marketplaces." To sell in-app products and subscriptions for apps published through the Google Play Store, your app needs to integrate/implement Google Play Billing. Google Play is a separate entity from Android and so the code for Google Play is not open source. However we do provide the Google Play Billing Library and the Google Play Developer API with documentation and samples. I hope this helps clarify.
