Does Google Play allow a 'Pick' button triggering purchase confirmation dialog instead of direct billing flow?

**Context:**
My Android app shows list of subscription plans, with a "Pick" labeled button below them. Tapping it currently launches the Google Pay sheet immediately, however, to confirm to play-store policy I want to add a confirmation dialog first, basically:
1. User taps "Pick"
2. Confirmation dialog appears with content:
- Message: "You're about to purchase the selected plan. This will charge your Google account."
- Buttons: "Purchase" and "Cancel" buttons
3. Only if "Purchase" is clicked → Google Billing flow starts
**Question:**
Does this comply with Google Play policies? Specifically:
- Is the initial "Pick" label acceptable since the actual payment initiation happens via a clearly labeled "Purchase" dialog?
- Does the dialog satisfy policy requirements for explicit purchase confirmation?
- Are there examples of apps using similar flows?
**Policy references I checked:**
- [Google Play Payments Policy §4](https://play.google.com/about/monetization-requirements/) requires "clear disclosure" of payments.
- [Billing best practices](https://developer.android.com/google/play/billing) mention reducing accidental purchases.
