Get Google Store credit
Google Store credit is issued to you when you trade in an old device through Google Store. You might also receive Google Store credit if someone buys you a device and you decide to return it (within 14 days of receiving it).
Google Store credit is maintained in your Google Pay account.
Important:
- If your available credit covers your entire order, the amount will be deducted from your balance.
- If your available credit doesn’t cover your entire purchase, use an accepted form of payment for the remaining balance.
- Credit can’t be transferred to friends or family, to different accounts, nor to different payment profiles in an account.
- Credit can only be used in the region where it was earned, and can’t be used for purchases in different regions.
