[Q] developer account(google play) and prepaid cards - General Questions and Answers

hi all, i've searched much but i ask here for a problem. i am making a cm9 theme, and my idea was to publish here on xda the apk and to make a donate version on the google play. now i need to make the developer account. i have a maestro card that is not suported, so my idea was to make a prepaid mastercard card. with this i can surely pay the initial quote of 25 dollars for the account, but th question is: can i use the prepaid card for been paid if someone download my app? thanks in advance

I'm not a developer, but I don't think Google pays you by posting a credit to your credit card.

im not one to condone piracy, but google will help you........
there's free alternatives to the widgets you get on LP plus. Colorize Widgets, agenda widget, big faces. the only thing you'd be missing is resizing widgets..
don't steal apps
Agreed.
Don't steal.
Developers will just stop developing and then we'll all have to switch to iPhones........ *shudder*

Sorry, but that's a lame excuse. My 15 year old son has a debit card (and sometimes buys apps). If nothing else (and there are tons of ways to get a debit card), you could get a gift card and use it to buy apps. If you feel you must steal apps that cost less than $10, then you have more problems than just not having a credit card.

I disagree. The LP dev is stupid to only allow paypal payments. I would have purchased it a long time ago if it wasn't paypal only.
I am NOT supporting warez here. Just my $.02 on the paypal only thing. I believe LPP would be used more if it didn't require paypal. At the point that a dev is circumventing the market, whats the market for?

whoa whoa whoa.. speaking out of turn here. Not all devs live in places where they are allowed to use google checkout, or to put paid apps in the market.
Don't call the guy stupid just because of where he lives. His country (Uruguay if memory serves) makes it impossible for him to use the market for a paid app. Paypal is his only viable option.
And pirating any apps is completely pathetic, but of course, it will happen. I wish I didn't see it in forums and threads on sites where developers and consumers so regularly go to support android. But, stupidity will be stupidity...
Furthermore, I'm a little confused by the way the author gets apps from the market. you can't bill to carrier, you have to use a credit card (unless you're on ATT, and even then, a month ago you couldn't). Does your mom buy all your apps? If that's the case, they why can't she buy you this one?
With T-Mobile you can charge your account as well! To be honest OP pay for the app!!! Support the developer!! Borrow a friends card! But don't take the slimy way out and look for a free pass! What if the shoes was on the other foot??

I am aware of this info...you can get a Visa merchant account in ANY country as long as you have internet...which the dev obviously does...he has his own website...

Maybe the author doesn't normally buy paid stuff. I have been on Android for years, and I have only purchased ONE app. I have donated to a few devs that make roms, but I typically don't buy apps. I WAS going to purchase LPP, but once I found out I have to deal with paypal, I quit. It's not worth it for me to go through transferring money to paypal, (3 days) and then making a payment to LPP, only to wait until the paypal payment has been recieved (another day or two) just to get a $2.99 home replacement.

Visa. MasterCard. Go to just about any bank, grocery store, or variety store and purchase one. With PayPal, you don't even need a CC. Just open a checking account.
BTW - I agree paying with PayPal is not the best option. I had a bad experience with an app and I will never do that way again. However, I still will not steal the app.

Umm you don't have to actually pay with your PayPal account, they just do the processing, you can pay with whatever credit/debit card you want. I don't even have a PayPal account and I bought the app just fine using my debit card.
PayPal can be used, can't it? I think these developers work extremely hard and it's difficult, even being broke, to use their fantastic programs and not compensate them for their time and effort.
Think of the position you're in... if your valuable time and hard work went without reward and you got no return on your investment, you'd be upset as well. It's just a couple of bucks here and there. You can EASILY find these on Google but please, don't do it, man.
I'm all for warez when someone is just going to be used once or if I'm uncertain if I'm going to pay full price for something. But if something is honestly worth the money, even my cheap ass will buy it. This world is ****ty enough. Don't go ripping off developers.

I do this sometimes but if the app is not in usd, your forbidden to charge it to your tmobile acct.
I would like to pay for apps, but when I try pay in the market it tells me to put credit card details in and won't accept my debit card. Anyone know how to solve this?

A petition for Android Market gift cards

Hi. If your on this forum, that means you love Android as much as me. But I still don't like too many company's having my credit card details, and wish there was gift cards I could purchase from a normal shop to spend on the Market. So I set up a petition to try and get Google's attention.
www .ipetitions.com/petition/android-market-gift-cards/
Thank you!
For MOD - I apologise if this is not allowed, or is in the wrong place.
I don't think this would be that popular. If you can't trust google with your credit card, i don't think you could trust them with gift cards.
I also think you can trust goole with your credit card! But thow it would be great for people that do no own a credit card!

especially for kids like me with no credit cards, cant purchase anything
Is this only for US residents? I also could sign it although I am German but will this count?
Gifting apps would be nice too, I had to basically steal my girlfriends google account in order to "gift" her minecraft PE....
It will be great if I can to buy apps from market when I don't have any credit card.

Help Play Store Buying to my ATT Account

Hello, I've been using the Infuse ever since it launched in May and I love it. However, when I try to purchase a game or app, it says failure, please sign into your Google Wallet Account. I do know that Google Wallet only works with the Nexus S and Galaxy Nexus. Is there any alternative that does not require me having to put my credit info in and still be able to buy games?
@OP: Oops about that thanks.
Try using virtual credit card. Many banks allow for this. I have a virtual card with $100 limit and it works great and there is no need to divulge the real card info.
Its a problem with your card. Sign in on a computer and fix it.
I got a new debit card and was getting same thing. I signed in and realized I entered the date wrong.

No but I don't want to put my card in. It gave me an ability to bill to my ATT but that doesn't work. I might try the Vritual Credit Card diablo mentioned.

[Q] Transfer money from Google Play to PayPal

Hi, I need to know if there are any apps that can transfer money from Google play to PayPal using inapp purchases, either downloadable via the Play Store or Off-site. I want to buy a few things that require PayPal, but have no way to add money into PayPal . I also do not own a credit card and am not planning on getting one at all. Please help. :good:
Hi there,
Digging up this old post.
I have a similar problem with Google Play credits.
I have credits from the Google opinion rewards app. Also my phone carrier supports carrier billing and I have a reasonable amount of unused credits there usually. The problem is all these credits are bounded as AUD (Australian dollars). There are a couple of apps and games that supports IAP but they only accept USD or JPY. When you try to pay using the carrier billing option, you will get a message "Purchase currency is not supported". I went as far as asking my carrier and they say it's not something that can support "in the near future".
There was also a closed thread about similar request: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2103287
Someone could possibly write an app that supports IAP, and then transfer that amount to anywhere in other means (e.g. PayPal). Of course you will lose part of the credits since Google charges 30% for IAP, and also PayPal has a fee (I can't remember exactly what and how much), but still better than nothing (depending on how desperate you are I guess).
Then of course there's also the problem of trust here, and how to do this securely.
Any thoughts anyone?
There's an app that I use called Payback. Gives you a 50% return on your money and is transferred to you via PayPal. Never has a problem with this app and definitely safe to use. Link: https:// play. google .com/store /apps /details ?id=com.nikkell. payback (take out spaces)

I'm also needing this. It's ridiculous that google pays us in a currency we can only use in their store and cannot get cashed out.
Should be laws against this kind of bull****.
I don't have a credit or debit card. I just redeemed my google play card on google play though. I need to transfer THAT to Paypal.

Read the comment above. According to Google's rules, you cannot withdraw money.
Are there any apps now in 2021 that allow you to spend your google play balance on an amazon gift card or something? I've got a couple hundred dollar play balance that I'm not going to spend, even if I had to take a 50% hit, it'd be worth it.

Yup, there is an app called CashOut that I have used a few times. They are giving 60% conversion from google play to PayPal. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cashapp.cashout
I have an iPhone. So my google opinion rewards is linked with my PayPal acct. I don’t get surveys nearly as often as do my friends with their android phones. However, mine goes straight to my PayPal acct as soon as I hit $2.00. Every time.

[Q] How to use all of your Google play credit?

I heard that you can't partially pay for an app with your Google play credit, so if you can't won't you theoretically always have a little bit of credit you can't spend? Is there anyway I can add a set amount of credit with my credit card so I can use up all my credit?

I'd check on the Google play website. You will probably find a lot more answers there. You could always contact Google and ask also
