In case you were unaware, you can already set up a family payment method on Google Play, allowing family managers to share a single payment method with their family members on many Android devices.

Family managers will know about these requests to buy things right away, but you can also look at them in a queue of approval requests and decide later.Īnd, just like with the family payment method, your Order History will have a record of all Purchase Request transactions, according to the company.

If you decide to successfully complete the purchase, you can use your own saved payment methods, such as Google Play gift cards.

Then, you can look at the request and important information about the app or in-app purchase on your own device and decide if the purchase should be made or not. Now, if you haven’t set up a family payment method, your kids will be able to send a request to buy something straight to the family manager. Recently, Google Play got UPI Autopay for subscriptions in India. Today, Google announced that Purchase Requests on Google Play would be added as a new family payment option.
