How to Buy Google Play Credit with BLIK in Poland

BLIK works directly at the Google Play Store for Polish accounts since June 2024, letting users pay for apps, games, and in-app items with a 6-digit code from their bank app. To buy, add BLIK under Payment methods in Google Play, select it at checkout, generate the code in your bank app, and confirm. Note that BLIK does not support automatic subscription billing on Google Play: to pay for YouTube Premium or Google One, top up your Play balance with BLIK first, then use that balance. As an alternative, buy a PLN-denominated Google Play gift card from a reseller like Dundle using BLIK, then redeem the code.

How BLIK Works for Google Play Purchases

BLIK works directly at the Google Play Store for Polish accounts since June 2024, making it possible to pay for apps, games, and in-app purchases with a 6-digit code from your bank app. The integration was enabled through a partnership with payment provider Boku, and Google Play is one of the few platforms internationally to support BLIK natively at checkout (BLIK, 2024). Over 16 million active BLIK users in Poland can now add it to their Google account and use it at checkout alongside credit cards and PayPal.

One key limitation: BLIK covers one-time purchases only on Google Play. Automatic recurring subscriptions such as YouTube Premium, Google One, or in-app subscription renewals cannot be billed directly with a BLIK code. To pay for a subscription using BLIK, top up your Google Play balance first via BLIK, then use that Play balance to subscribe.

BLIK at the Google Play checkout is available only for Google accounts with a Polish billing address. Users with accounts registered in Germany, France, the Netherlands, or other countries outside Poland cannot add BLIK directly at Google Play checkout.

Step-by-Step: Buying Google Play Credit with BLIK

Step 1: Open Google Play payment settings

On your Android device, open the Google Play Store, tap your profile icon in the top-right corner, and go to "Payments and subscriptions", then "Payment methods".

Step 2: Add BLIK to your account

Tap "Add payment method" and select BLIK from the list. Google links BLIK to your account through your bank's BLIK service for future purchases.

Step 3: Choose your content and proceed to checkout

Find the app, game, or in-app item you want to buy. At checkout, select BLIK as your payment method.

Step 4: Generate a 6-digit BLIK code

Open your bank app, navigate to the BLIK section, and generate a 6-digit code. The code expires after 2 minutes, so proceed promptly.

Step 5: Enter the code and confirm in your bank app

Type the 6-digit code into the Google Play checkout screen. Your bank app will send a push notification to confirm the payment. Approve it with your PIN, fingerprint, or Face ID. The purchase completes within seconds.

Alternative: Buy a Google Play gift card with BLIK

If your Google account is not registered in Poland, or you want to pre-load your balance, buy a PLN-denominated Google Play gift card from a reseller using BLIK. Dundle sells Google Play codes in various PLN amounts with instant email delivery.

To redeem: open Google Play, tap your profile icon, go to "Payments and subscriptions", tap "Redeem gift code", and enter the code from your email. The balance adds to your account immediately.

Fees, Limits, and Availability

BLIK charges no fee for Google Play purchases. Google does not add a surcharge for BLIK payments either. Transaction limits are set individually by your bank: check your bank app's BLIK settings to see your current limit and raise it if needed (BLIK, 2025).

BLIK at Google Play checkout is only available in Poland. Users with Google accounts registered outside Poland cannot use BLIK directly at checkout. If you hold a Polish bank account but have a non-Polish Google account, the gift card route above is the practical alternative.

Google Play gift cards are region-locked. PLN-denominated cards only redeem on Google accounts set to Poland. If your account is registered in another EU country, purchase an EUR-denominated card instead and verify that the reseller accepts BLIK.
