Google Payment makes it easy for you to pay for your online transactions. If you need to buy an app or a game through Google Play Store, you can do so. Google Play Store accepts various available payment methods.
Here is a list of accepted payment information and billing methods on Google Play.
- Credit/Debit Cards – American Express, Discover, JCB, MasterCard, Visa, Visa Electron
- Google Pay Balance
- Mobile Phone Billing – AT&T, Boost, Sprint, T-Mobile, US Cellular, Verizon
- Google Play Balance
- Google Play Gift Cards
- PayPal
Unfortunately, there are payment method options that are unavailable and Google Play does not support. These include wire and bank transfers, Western Union, Money Gram, Virtual Credit Cards, Health Savings Account, Transit cards, and escrow payments.
There are cases when you try to pay via Google Payment and encounter the OR-PMSA-05 or OR-PMSA-03 error code while giving you a transaction failed message. These issues point out a problem concerning either your preferred payment method or the app or service you are paying for.
How to Fix Google Payment Transaction Failed Error Code OR-PMSA-05 or OR-PMSA-03
The OR-PMSA-05 or OR-PMSA-03 error codes usually appear when you make small transactions like making an in-app purchase or buying an app or game. You may not be able to process your Google Play Store payment resulting to an unsuccessful transaction when it happens. In some cases, the payment gets through, but you will not receive the items.
Check out these troubleshooting solutions and workarounds to fix any of these Google Payment issues when you experience them.
Solution #1 – Verify your Payment Method
Make sure that the payment method you use for your Google Play Store account includes any details from the list of accepted payment options indicated above. Otherwise, it will prompt the error and result in your payment getting declined. You will need to disable the payment option and input your new certified correct details.
Solution #2 – Update the App
It helps if you install the latest version of the app or game where you want to make a purchase. Go to Google Play Store and search for the app. Check if there are available updates and install them.
Solution #3 – Clear the App Cache
- Launch the Settings menu of your Android device.
- Go to Apps.
- Look for the app that is causing the error.
- Tap to open it.
- Select Storage.
- Tap Clear Cache and Clear Data.
Solution #4 – Plug in your Device if Running Low on Battery
Make sure that your device has enough resources to function properly. Turn off power-saving functions and plug in your device if it is running low on battery. You can also close running apps in the background.
Solution #5 – Use a Different Payment Method
If you have other payment options, you can try them. There are times when the problem is with your chosen payment method. Other billing options may work.
Solution #6 – Call your Bank
You can confirm with your bank if there are issues concerning your account. You may also contact support if Google Play charged you twice. Report your concern and ask for a reversal.

It’s all nonsense the only solution is use new card
not always joe
i have enough balance on my paypal account and it is installed to use my paypal balance and then my bank. but when i pay with paypal it gives me error code? i have tried all of the above and it does not work?
PayPal will restrict your card/back/account if it has even the slightest doubts about authenticity – contact them directly and (POLITELY) ask them to check your account and remove any restrictions and/or blocks. Once they’ve done it’s worthwhile restarting your device and/or uninstall and then reinstall PayPal. Also, make sure you clear your devices cookies and cache.
i’m having the same problem as Ruben. Tried all the suggested solution, nothing works
I have try all the Solution but min og them Work for me, i have conracted Google but No respons (its now 3 Weeks ago) so i have No idé what to do now …
The Issue is with the bank not with Google Pay , Most Banks have Incompetent People so connecting with then will only get you the same responses that it’s not Thier fault . The Issue is how your card is mapped and Authenticated when making payments thru App Gateways Against UPI gateways , So in India the issue is with Reissued Cards Or New cards from specific banks like HDFC. Be a little pushy , Connect only with Thier Appellate team to get it RESOLVED .
I forgot I set up a monthly spend limit on my virtual card. it’s set up so I need to approve transactions via the bank app so would be nice if it checked my limit first instead of just letting me approve.
is there any problem with iQiyi to transaction through any type of card or Google pay. I can’t make payment for it’s VIP service
I can see a ray of light today in the information you have provided. My instinct is to go for Google Play GIFT cards. Please let me know how I should describe the matter such that you know that the objective of solving this issue of unpaid storage is solved at least for a year. I hope these gift cards can be purchased in Indian rupees. ASHUTOSH BOSE.May 5, 23.
