How to Buy Google Play Credit with PayPal

Quick answer
Google Play doesn't accept PayPal directly, but you can add credit to your Google Play balance in two steps: buy a Google Play gift card with PayPal from a reseller like Eneba or Kinguin, then redeem the code in the Play Store app or at play.google.com/redeem. Codes arrive by email within minutes. One key thing to check: Google Play gift cards are region-specific, so make sure the card's country matches your Google account before buying. Your credit can be used for apps, games, subscriptions, and in-app purchases across the entire Play Store.

Can You Buy Google Play Credit with PayPal?

PayPal is not a payment option in the Google Play Store in any European market (Google, 2026). The route that works: buy a Google Play gift card from a reseller that accepts PayPal, then redeem the code on your Google account. Three resellers cover this well: Eneba, Kinguin, and Startselect.

PayPal is accepted at Eneba, Kinguin, and Startselect for Google Play gift cards. Buy the code with PayPal, then redeem it at play.google.com/redeem.

Which Resellers Accept PayPal?

Eneba and Kinguin cover most EU countries and accept PayPal at checkout. Startselect covers the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, and several other European markets.

Step-by-Step: Buy Google Play Credit with PayPal

  1. Go to Eneba, Kinguin, or Startselect and search for Google Play.
  2. Select your denomination (typically €5 to €100).
  3. Choose PayPal at checkout and complete the payment.
  4. The code arrives by email within minutes.
  5. Open Google Play, tap your profile icon, then Payments and subscriptions > Redeem gift code. Or go to play.google.com/redeem.
  6. Enter the code — credit is added to your account immediately.

Buying for Someone Else

Google Play codes work on any Google account. Send the code by email — the recipient redeems it on their own account. Region locks apply: the account country must match the card region.

Fees

No buyer fee when paying from a PayPal balance. If you pay by linked card, your card issuer terms apply. Check the price breakdown at checkout before confirming.

Google Play codes are region-specific. An EU code cannot be redeemed on a US or UK Google account. Check the region on the product page before buying.
