Some
Google Play apps have a price tag, which means that they are
sometimes better developed, but also void (or almost) of annoying ads
that invade your smartphone or tablet’s screen. With Google, it’s
really easy to buy apps, but the first time might be a little tricky
for newbies to Android and the smartphone world. For those who need
that extra help, here is our Android
for Beginners
tutorial
on how to buy paid apps from the Google Play Store.
First
of all, you need to have a Credit Card and add its information to
your Google account. This service is called Google Wallet which you
can easily configure, either when you set up your smartphone for the
first time after receiving your device, or when you are buying an
app. In both cases, setting it up is exactly the same.
Once
you set up your device for the first time or your Google account, a
new page calledEntertainment
will
appear. You can add your credit card info by choosing ‘Set
up credit card’
and add your bank info just like you were paying for something
online.
If
you decided to skip the step at the beginning, this isn’t a
problem. You can simply add the payment type of your choice in the
Google Play Store when you click on the price after choosing a paid
app. Tap on continue and enter your info. Your card is then
registered for all your future purchases. You also have the options
of using a PayPal account or redeeming a Google Play Gift Card. If
you want to add the payment information at any given time, even if
you aren't buying an app, go into the side menu and select My
account. Here you have the same payment options that you can save.
Once
this step is done, you can now not only buy apps but also music,
movies and books from Google Play without needing to add the
information anew. After the purchase is complete, you will receive an
email which confirms your transaction as well as your the payment
details. If you are unsure about giving Google this kind of info, you

Wallet privacy measures on their site.
