Make purchases in actions on your phone

You can buy items, content, or services in some actions with the Google Assistant.

Important: You can’t create new Family Notes, but you can still view and save existing notes. To buy items, you need to live in the continental U.S.

Find & buy items

  1. On your Android phone or tablet, say "Hey Google, open Assistant settings."
  2. Under "All settings," tap Explore.
  3. While in the action, type or say what you want to add. For example:
    • In Headspace, you can say "Subscribe" to buy a monthly or yearly subscription.
    • In King for a Day, you can say "Expansion pack" to buy more lives.
  4. Tap Buy now.
  5. If you’ve set up "Purchase approvals" in Google Assistant, you’ll approve your purchase with either your password or fingerprint.

Set your payment method

When buying an item, you’ll be asked to turn on the payments setting if it’s off. Learn how to turn on payments or set your payment and delivery info.

Request a refund or contact support

If you have a problem with your purchase, try to fix the issue on your own. If those steps don’t work, here are more options:

Contact an action’s developer

Most actions on Google Assistant are made by companies other than Google. Contact an action developer if:

  • An action isn’t working.
  • A purchase isn’t working or what you expected.
  • You want to learn more about how to use an action.

To contact an action developer:

  1.  On your Android phone or tablet, say "Hey Google, open Assistant settings."
  2. Under "All Settings," tap Explore.
  3. Browse or search for the action.
  4. Tap the action to open the detail page.
  5. Scroll down to review the contact information listed.

What to say when you contact the developer

When you contact the developer, let them know:

  • The action you’re using. Examples include "Headspace."
  • The issue you’re having. Such as "My purchase didn’t come through," or "the action isn’t working properly when I open it."
  • The response you’d like. For example, mention whether you’d like help fixing the issue or would like a refund for your purchase. 

What to expect when contacting an action developer

You should expect a courteous and professional response when you contact a developer about an issue. If your inquiry is about a problem with a purchase you made, you should expect a response within three business days.
