Google keeps adding a new payment method every once a while to make sure that apps and other content are made accessible to everyone. Be that as it may, it can be small befuddling to make sense of what installment strategies are accessible in your nation.

Utilizing VCC two or three years back appeared well and good, however Google offers a great deal of exchange installment strategies now.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"which-google-play-store-payment-method-do-you-prefer\"><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>Which Google Play Store Payment Method do You Prefer?<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>I hope this list saves you from the hassle of flipping through the Google Play support pages.
