Request a refund

We can only issue a refund to the person who purchased the gift. See more information on refunds for Google Play gifts.

Purchased an item with a different account

It's not possible to share or transfer content between accounts on Google Play, even if you own both accounts. If you have multiple accounts on your device, make sure you sign in to the account you want to use before you complete your purchase.

If you've bought an app on the wrong account, contact the app developer. They may be able to refund your purchase so you can buy it again on the account you wanted to use.

Note: You can share apps and digital content with your family with Google Play Family Library.

Use your gift

Redeemed gifts and some promo codes appear as part of your Google Play balance. This can be used for many purchases on Google Play (and purchases on YouTube in some countries).

  • Find information on the types of content you can buy with Google Play balance.
  • Browse all of Google Play's apps, games, and digital content at play.google.com or using the Google Play Store app Google Play.
