When you're in a family group, you can use the family payment method or a separate payment method to make purchases on Google Play.
How the family payment method works
- When a family group is created, the family manager can add a family payment method.
- To make purchases on Google Play or in-app purchases through Google Play's billing system, family members can use the family payment method.
- The family manager is responsible for any purchases made by their family members using the family payment method.
- The family manager gets an email receipt each time a family member makes a purchase through Google Play's billing system.
- To require their approval when family members make certain purchases, the family manager can turn on purchase approvals.
- Family members can use the family payment method to purchase:
- Apps
- Books
- Movies
- Games
- TV shows
- Magazine issues
- The family payment method can’t be used for the following purchases:
- Subscriptions
- Devices from the Google Store
- Google Play balance
- Google Pay purchases
- Alternative billing systems
Tips:
- Purchase approval settings only apply to purchases made through Google Play's billing system.
- If the content is eligible to be added to the Family Library, on the details page, you'll find the Family Library icon
