How to transfer google play purchases to another account

Q: Can I merge two Google Play accounts?

It isnt currently possible to merge separate Google Accounts. However, if youd like to transfer your data from one account to another, this may be done on a per product basis. Or, to start using a new product, you dont have to create another Google Account.

In order to restore purchase on a Google Play Android device, the device MUST be tied to the same account that originally made. This is a restriction by Google to limit piracy. While we can’t change the rules, if you do have a device that is already tied to a different Google account, you may still be able to restore purchases from a different Google account if you do the following:

Can I merge two Google Play accounts?

Go to Android’s “Settings” area. (Where this is depends on the device, but it can often be done by going to the home screen, then pressing the “Menu” button).

No there is no official way to transfer purchases from one account to another. You could contact the Google Services to maybe figure out a way if you had a good reason which you could explain.

There is a Reddit thread regarding this topic if that is any help.

Unfortunately there is no way Google can transfer in-app purchases from one account to another. This is actually up to the application developer to help resolve your issue. I highly recommend contacting the developer to either (1) transfer your content from the old email address to the new one or (2) getting a refund for all those purchases.

Are you are planning on using a new Google account on your Android device, but your apps are published to another Google Play account? Publishing an app on Google Play Store isn’t easy so it’s better to transfer already published apps(with previous account) to the new account. As a pre-requisite, you will need both (old and new) active Developer accounts info and a Google App Transfer Form for the job. Now, let’s find out how you can move Android app to a new account in a few simple steps:

Step 1: Find your app package:

From the list of all applications, find yours and select it.
On the next page, there will be the name of your app on the top of the screen. The package name of our application will be right below the name in the form of “example.app”.

Step 2: Find the transaction ID for the Original Developer account

Next page will have a section on Subscriptions and services, open View purchases to find one of your purchases and click the transaction with the title “Google – Google Play”.

A transaction receipt will slide in from the right side. You can find the transaction ID of your purchase here.

Step 3: Obtain the transaction ID for the Target Developer Account

This time, login to your Google Payment Center account with target developer account credentials.
Again find the Subscriptions and services option, open View purchases to find one of your purchases and click the transaction with the title “Google – Google Play”.

Step 4: Developer name for your target account

Login to Google Play developer account with target account info.
In the left side menu, open the Settings
At the top of the Settings page, you will find your “Developer name”.

Note: If you want to use the same name in the new account as you were using in the old one, change the name of your initial account first. After that update the name on your target account.

Step 5: Integrate Google Analytics

Sign-in to Google Analytics.
Select Admin and navigate to the desired account/property/view.
In the Account, Property, or View column (depending upon whether you want to add the user at the account, property, or view level), click User Management.
Then under Add permissions for, enter the email address for the user’s Google Account.
Select the permissions you want. (Learn more about permissions)
Select Notify this user by email to send a notification to each user you’re adding.
Click Add.

Step 6: Integrate Google Play Developer Console projects:

Login into your Google Developer account. and click on Manage resources as shown below.
Select all the projects available on the list. Add new target email account with owner.

Step 7: Integrate your Firebase Account:

Login to your Google Firebase account and enter the valid credentials.
Select the Users and permission.
Click on Manage resources as shown below.
On the next page, select all the projects and add new target account mail with a role of an owner.

Step 8: Submit your transfer request

After completing the previous step, fill up the App Transfer Form by providing the email addresses of both original and target developer accounts.

Once you fill out the form with all the gathered information, you will be allowed to submit the request. Google usually takes around 48 hours to review and process your request.
