Google does not allow google wallet payments in our country. Therefore we thought of trying Scoreloop paypal support instead. I know it cannot be used if we publish on Google play. Does anyone have any idea about the usefulness of this move.
Thanks

I will be signing up to sell my apps on Thursday Mostly be making live wallpapers and such.
Googles terms has this.
Developers must be approved by a Payment Processor for a Payment Account.
Can I use google checkout to recieve payments?
And what all payment methods can you use to recieve payments from apps?
AFAIK Google Checkout is the only option, but I do not have a dev account so I can't tell you for sure.
Not sure how to answer your second question. If you mean payouts from Google, I imagine it would either come in the form of a mailed check or an electronic deposit to your bank account.
There was an option to pay via your phone bill...dunno where that went.
Check the Google discussion groups. They're a pain in the ass to use, but this is asked and answered there over and over.
So my girlfriend is the one who bought the device.. and since google requires you to use some google account she used her own.. I'm going to be the one using the device though, is that credit tied to the account that bought the device?

Hey guys,
I was just wondering if someone noticed that you cant subscribe to magazines from outside US while using VPN.
The $25 google play credit is grey. You can buy digital issues but you cant subscribe.
Is there a way I can use my google credit for magazines subscription somehow?
Thanks
As I understand it you can't use the credit for subscription. Not just outside the use

Well right now I'm back in Europe and I use VPN to get to the US play store. I haven't tried to subscribe before so.
Does anyone know a fix or a guide how to subscribe to magazines with your $25 google credit?
Thanks
Google explicitly specified that the 25 is only for apps.

Thanks.
I didn't know that.
I'm sure some of you here have bought the Nexus 7 and got $25 Google Play credit. Does anyone know if I can use that credit towards the purchase of the nexus 4?
Thanks
Nope, cant use google play credit for devices
And also no, because to use Google play credit, you need enough credit to cover the WHOLE cost of an item you buy

As already mentioned, nope you cannot use Play Store credit to buy Google devices. Someone here I think bought $400 worth of gift cards before they found this out...
And yea you have to also have enough Play Store credit to cover whatever you buy in Play Store. I have $0.11 that I can't really do anything with
I asked for Google Play gift cards for Christmas so I can buy a Nexus 4. Waited a month before it was finally available again. Only to find out my $400 worth of gift cards was absolutely worthless on devices.
This policy is absurd. When you buy a gift card at Best Buy, Walmart, etc....It's good for everything in the store. But with Google, Play credit is only applicable to certain items. This should be illegal.

I submitted a help request via Google's help center. First, I must say that it was damn near impossible to find a prompt for emailing customer support. After being re-directed in every direction, I finally found the prompt in a whole other section of the support center (completely unrelated to my issue). My correspondence demanded an explanation for their absurd policy. Here is Google's response:
"Thank you for contacting Google.
It's my understanding that you wish to know why devices can't be purchased using Google Play credit. I can understand the frustration involved in your situation. I will provide any assistance I am able to render.
Unfortunately, our policy does entail that you use a valid credit card to purchase devices on the Google Play Store. A main facet to this policy is to ensure a simpler support experience in regards to refunds and replacement devices, as well as securing a proper amount of funds prior to being charged. If you've any additional questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reply."
So there you have it folks. Google's Device policy is to ensure a simpler support experience. Baloney.

Makes sense to me. Don't the gift cards specifically state they can't be used for devices?

Yuppp.
And just sell the gift cards and buy a visa prepaid. Or get a debit card.

I couldn't even buy a bumper with it. Soft goods only I'm guessing.
Hello all, I have a question about purchasing a nexus 6p, I googled this topic for about 30 minutes last night and couldn't find an answer so I put it to the fine folks of XDA in search of an answer:
I want to split my payment for my N6P over two sources. One of the two is a "rewards debit card" that gets loaded with money when I hit certain incentives at work and I'd be able to cover half the cost of the phone with the amount of rewards Ive earned. Sadly, I can't add money to it or pull money out of it. So since I'm confident that I can't split tender on googles website, and I don't have enough rewards to put it all on the reward card, my next step was Google wallet/google play. I'm confident I read somewhere that one can't use Google play credit to buy devices, but my searching hasn't found a definite confirmation of that. At the checkout screen for the phone there was an option that said "Google play balance: $x.xx" but it was greyed out due to insufficient funds, not the fact that was an invalid payment type. So I'm hoping I'm wrong about not being able to use GP credit but am unwilling to test this theory by buying a bunch of Google play gift cards, loading them to my account and then not being able to spend them.
Would anyone be able to give me a hand on this one? Last night 64gb aluminum a were in stock and I was unable to pull the trigger due to the confusion and I'd hate to miss another chance at them.
Google Play balances CANNOT be used to purchase devices. It's in the T&C on the website and on the physical Play Store gift cards in stores.
You might need to purchase a reloadable debit Visa/Masterdcard, and load funds to it from your two sources, then use the one card to make your purchase. But I leave that scenario for those who have experience in this. I just wanted to tell you about the Play Store balance before you wasted any money on it (they dont give refunds on Play Store balances)
