Being only 14 years of age, I do not have a debit card and, without one, cannot purchase applications, books or movies from the Play Store. So, are there alternate methods of payment available?
Only method I can think of is to ask a parent/guardian or friend or a relative to let you use theirs. You can set up Google Wallet, and say ask them to put £10 on that with their card, and then you pay them £10.
Even if they're scared of security, just delete the card after you're done. I buy an app, add my card details, and then delete the card details once it's on my phone so there's no traces of it if someone else uses my account. Hope this helps

you can buy a prepaid debit card and load it with cash. Google them. They are great for teenagers or anyone who can't get credit
Doesn't this belong to Q and A ?

How did you delete your details of card? There's no option in deleting the credit card.

Hi All,
I wanted to purchase a paid app from Google play so I went ahead & entered my Debit Card details (I do not have credit card). I verified all the details & were entered correctly, but it still says “Invalid Credit card” ???
I’m entering debit card info, why does it say Credit card ? I have done various transactions in past using the same card & has worked fine, I donno why problem with google play / wallet?
Pls help.
:bump:
Has anyone faced this issue in past ?
Common guys ... nobody faced this issue earlier ? atleast can you let me know how do i contact Google Play support for this ?
The only reason I can think for the card not being accepted is that, for whatever reason, Google thinks your card is untrustworthy.
If you want to contact Google then search their website - it's not like we are going to have a phone number on speed-dial that we can just give you.
Google Support is rather quick to respond on forums, especially if it's a usability issue on one of their websites.
Especially because debit cards are 100% accepted by them.
A guy with the same problem as yours, got a response by a google power user:
ravinder sharma
while purchanging custom domain through blogger with my debit visa card which is dully activated and verified by visa--error shows- decline the error no- bX-74br4 please advise why they are declining the debit visa card.

If your credit/debit card was declined, consider the following issues that users often encounter when making purchases online:
Enter the entire card number without any spaces or dashes
Verify your card hasn't expired, and enter the correct expiration date
Enter the correct Card Verification Code (CVC)
Google Wallet only sends CVC information to your bank for the initial authorization of your card. To ensure the security of your credit card information, Google does not store your CVC and it will not be sent for all other authorizations.
Confirm the billing address listed in your Google Wallet account matches the billing address that appears on your credit/debit card statement
If you're not able to correct the problem after double-checking and re-entering all of your information, we suggest contacting your credit/debit card-issuer for more information. Once you successfully update your payment information, the seller can charge and fulfill your order. Review the status of your order and confirm your card was successfully updated by signing into your account at wallet dot google dot com/manage
If you place an order as a Google Wallet guest and your credit/debit card declines, your order will automatically be cancelled. If you'd still like to complete the transaction, please place a new order.

im also facing the same prob n my debit card working in itunes but here it says“Invalid Credit card”
I've been having the same issue since a while now.
The weird part is that I have purchased apps earlier using a credit card and one day it just stopped working, now i can't seem to add that card or even any other debit or credit card
Google Checkout is now Google Wallet, a service like Paypal.
Indian cards, when used online, have lots of restrictions, redirections, verifications etc. The catch is, everything must happen in real-time; making it impossible to be used in services like Google Wallet where Google stores your card info and uses it at some point in future.
Previously, Google Checkout was real-time, so some cards used to work. Blame Google for making another Google+-esq mistake by removing any direct payment method with the aim of pushing its Google Wallet as a major competitor of Paypal.
I contacted their support, they said that SBI debit cards shall work. However, Saketme reports that even that is not working. I request him to contact Wallet support and post the response here.
Update: Some say that these cards stopped working because INR transactions have been implemented. Axis Bank cards used to work, so did virtual credit cards; both are now bocked.
Edit: Can I post links? thinkdigit.com/forum/internet-www/161111-must-read-information-regarding-indian-debit-cards-8.html
I am finally at the bottom of this issue, and it is all capitalism down here.
Play store, Steam etc use the policy of saving credit card info so that users will no more have to fill in all that info each time they purchase something. This method is called one click purchase and it raises the number of sales. This business policy conflicts with 3D secure and this the reason nobody is bothering to implement 3D secure.
In India, 3D secure is mandatory for all online card transactions. Transactions on online stores outside India are beyond this rule but they also bypass taxes. That is why INR transactions are being implemented; but if a seller bypasses 3D secue for INR transaction, they will be charged with huge fine.
As of December 2012, Apple has proposed RBI to consider allowing one time 3D secure verification while adding cards, so that one click purchase can still be possible, and RBI is considering it.
Even credit cards require 3D secure in India. So prepaid credit card will not help. A few cards are still accepting 3D secure bypass request, like Axis Bank MasterCard, but nothing can be guranteed for future.
I wanted to buy SwiftKey so I entered my card details and the play store says Invalid Card.
It is a Bank Of India Debit card mastercard.
Works fine when I buy stuff from eBay.
Now what do I do?

i too have the same problem with my sbi visa debit card..
To stop piracy ,its a must to make payment options easier.Even international debit cards wont work in Indian play store :crying: Both my Axis bank platinum and SBI gold cards were rejected!! When adding card details ,its written as credit/debit card- still debit cards wont work.
Hello all,
It seems that Entropay works. According to Google's policy, no VCC should work; but here is the post:
http://devilsworkshop.org/tips/buy-apps-google-play-entropays-virtual-credit-card/71790/
Please read the comments on that page for important tips.
Personally, I have not tried the method. I am no more enthusiast about purchasing from Play Store.
Note: you still need some method to upload money to Entropay. I doubt that Indian debit cards will work. You need a VCC and hopefully Entropay accepts single use VCC like HDFC Netsafe.
even im facing this issue..
here is something i foud about the problem...

& also 3D secure problem is also there...
I had contacted my bank about this issue and they replied me this

1) i tried using entropay, many people are posting that it works(by changing the entered address, ect) but personally I never had success with it.
2) HDFC Netsafe does not work. I have tried many times. SBI virtual card does not work either.
My friend had bought a few apps with his ICICI credit card.
If you want to remove previously enterd card credentials from Google, you can remove it through google wallet. Also has anyone tried Amazon appstore?
well i guess am not the only one with this problem...i thought of buying a app to support the dev,so much for a good deed
Problem still persists
Dear friends,
I was using a trial version of SwiftKey and wanted to purchase the paid version. I entered my SBI Debit Card details on Google Wallet but keep getting Invalid Card error.
I was reading all the previous comments on this post and sadly, the problem still exists.
Has anyone found a way to buy stuff from Play Store without facing this error?
Thanks in advance.
My current network isn't supported with payment on Google Play. I'm curious, can I buy apps using my prepaid credits/load?

Hi,
You have some different options to pay on Google Play like credit cards, mobile operator or gift cards that you can buy. I recommend you to read this to know more about it:
https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/2651410?hl=en
The best solution still the credit card that you can add to your Wallet acount and make any purchase of Google Services.
Hey all,
We built a small app that will allow you to use your VISA cards at contactless terminals with your phone using the NFC chip. It's an equivalent to Android Pay but for every VISA card.
The card details are stored on the device only and never shared online.
We have a few coupon codes to give for a free download, PM me. First come, first served
Note that this only works in most North & South American countries.
Just bought this at the extremely reasonable price as a token of support. Looking forward to trying it. I'm on a Galaxy S6 with systemless root (so no Samsung Pay) and Xposed (so using Android Pay requires an Xposed-less reboot). This app fills the void nicely. Hoping there's no way it can be blocked on the infrastructure side.
Reporting back - I'm in the US, with credit cards issued by US banks, and haven't been able to use MasterCard or Visa at Whole Foods or Trader Joe's. Terminals are returning card read errors. I have Tapito set as my default Tap and Pay app. Trigger is also installed as default NFC tag reader. Any ideas?
"Couldn't complete your transaction Gift cards can only be used in the country where they were".
This is the error Im getting everytime when trying to purchase apps with play store.
Im rooted, have xposed, have tried to mock location, change ip with a reliable vpn. Im not in US.
Any workaround for this issue? Even a hard one?
Change your Google Play country:
1. Open the Google Play Store app .
2. At the top right, tap the profile icon.
3. Tap Settings - General Account and device preferences Country and profiles.
I am having the same issue, except with Indonesia. I previously bought IDR gift cards and could redeem them just fine, but since today that has no longer been working and I get the same error. The Google account has its store and region set to Indonesia and I have tried using a VPN to no avail. No clue how to fix this

Thats not a solution. Those who change their country in play store, will lose all of their balance and even access to the paid apps, books and games that they got before.
Check my next post
It's also not a solution because my country in those settings is already correct, and yet the gift card redemption doesn't work.

This. Google messed up. It seems in their ham fisted attempt to target scammers they ended up locking the play balances of untold thousands (perhaps more) of legitimate accounts.

Try using a Mastercard or Visa if you can.

Yes, credit and debit cards confirmed still work but that's not an adequate solution for many, especially those who already have substantial amounts of money in their play balance.
The issue only affects play gift cards and play balances. It even affects play balances that weren't necessarily filled using play gift cards in some cases, I'm told.
I choose not to willingly give out my bank CCs or real identity to scummy spyware companies like google anyways, so I have a prepaid visa gift card set as alternate form of payment.. this form of payment remains unaffected by google's recent gaffe.

I rarely use pay apps. I have 4 on the phone.
Package Disabler and Poweramp are needed the other two I could ditch.
Best to feed the beast as little as possible (meaning Google Playwhore).
Google can't do much to a MC or Visa at least in the US as your assets are protected.

Poweramp is def worth ponying up for. I think the dev even has a non-google payment option with a separate non-google variant of the apk. That's the way to go for sure, but I also understand he probably gets more volume of sales through the play store than through his own site's vendor process. Nature of the beast.
As for payment, walking into a store and putting cash on an unregistered mc or visa debit/gift card is simple enough and works for most online purchases with the exception of subscriptions/recurring billing. If all I wanted was a $6 app for instance I would just load $10 on the card. Better to risk compromising pocket change than to risk compromising your checking account. Plus it's anon if you follow the correct opsec procedures.

Nope but I also don't live in Indonesia, I am guessing this change in Google policy is targeted at people like me. My Play Store region is set to Indonesia, I have tried using a VPN in Indonesia and setting my GPS location to Indonesia all at the same time, but Google still somehow detects that I am not in Indonesia. No clue how to activate my cards.
