Google Play Store is an app market for Android users that was developed in 2012 by the tech giant Google. In addition to apps and games, the store also offers movies and books to purchase or rent.
Google offers a number of payment options for purchases and in-app transactions, including debit card, credit card, UPI (for Indian users), and others. But, to make things easier and safer, Google offers Play Balance, also known as Play Credit, as a key feature of the Google Play Store.
