Google Play Store already has an option for users to set up a family account and have ‘family managers’ make purchases for kids. To make things easy when there isn’t a family account, Google Play now has the opinion to request payments. Have a look at what this is all about.
The new Purchase Requests feature will let kids under 13 (or other family members too) request their family managers to allow payments for apps and games. Google, in a blog post, says, “Many families come to Google Play to find apps and games for everyone in the household to enjoy. Now we’re adding a new easier way for families to safely purchase both paid apps and in-app purchases.“
Additionally, there will be notifications for the purchase requests but in case it is missed, users can find it in an approval request queue.
