How to pay for Android apps

The possibilities of how in Android Market can be paid are very limited in this country. As the operator of the shop, Google decided not to set up multiple payment options. A credit card is therefore a mandatory requirement in order to be able to pay. If you have this, you can set it up in just a few steps:

  1. Take your Smartphone or tablet at hand and start the Android Market app.
  2. Find a useful but paid program and click the "Buy" button.
  3. After you have pressed the button, you will be asked to set up a payment method. The app should then automatically redirect you to the setup form. If this is not the case, click on "Next".

Alternatives to the market

Credit cards are nowhere near as popular in Europe as they are in the USA. Therefore, some alternatives to paying by credit card have now become established:

  • If it is not possible for you to pay in the Android Market because you do not have a credit card, you can register in an alternative app shop. Well-known software stores with a wide selection of apps are the App Center and the Amazon Appstore. Here, payments can also be processed via PayPal, among other things.
  • Another option is to contact the developer of the required app directly. If it is not a large studio like Gameloft or Adobe, it may be possible to find ways in which you can obtain the app directly from the manufacturer. It is also possible that the developer has already set up his own small shop.
  • If you basically have no problem paying by credit card, but you do not have the necessary card, you can also get one Prepaid-Buy a card. This is loaded with credit and therefore cannot be overdrawn. You don't have to worry about credit card theft.
