Does a paid Chrome extension need to request the identity permission to offer a free trial?

per this page it seems I need to request the identity permission in order to offer a free trial in a paid extension.

Is there any way around this? I do not need to have access to the user's email for this extension, and since it operates with a social media platform, requesting that permission might be seen as intrusive.

It'd be great if I could somehow verify the license key without needing to have access to the user's email or identity. Thanks!

According to the documentation, using Google's identity is required if you use Chrome Web Store Payment System.

If you don't want to use Google's identity, you would have to implement a different Custom payment solution.
