Your next steps

  1. Check Google's eligible uses for your country.
  2. Open the intended purchase and inspect the available payment methods.
  3. Verify the balance covers the payable total under the checkout rules.

The details that make a difference

A game may sell currency through Play billing and through a separate web store. The web store does not automatically accept Play balance just because the same game is available on Android.

For subscriptions or combined payments, follow the current checkout instructions. Do not buy extra credit until the intended transaction accepts it.
