IS there any way to pay google developer registration fee without google wallet?
I am trying to pay it through the google wallet but at the time of adding my debit card it said that authentication failed .
Unfortunately, I believe Google Wallet is the only means of payment. Is your card one of the valid ones listed here? Otherwise, it may be an issue with the card/information you've inputted. Check out the Google Wallet Help Center.
Seems like the Google Play Cards do not work either (was just confirmed in chat). So you need to use the methods in the link #Andy provided.

It looks like your Google Play registration payment didn’t process. This can happen sometimes if a card has expired, the credit card or credit card verification (CVC) number was entered incorrectly, or if your billing address doesn't match the address in your Google Payments account.
Here’s how you can find the details of your transaction:
Sign in to your Google Payments account at https://payments.google.com.
On the left menu, select the “Subscriptions and services” page.
On the “Other purchase activity” card, click View purchases.
Click the “Google Play” registration transaction to see your payment method.
You can click “Payment methods” on the left menu if you need to edit the addresses on your Google Payments account.
To add a new credit or debit card to your account, you can follow the instructions on the Google Payments Help Center (https://support.google.com/payments/answer/6220309).
I tried this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rMQylbcln90 and it works for my case (I had expired debit card added and causing the error OR-IEH-01),
Basically, you may need to close your current payment profile in setting

This question has already been asked a lot of times but no complete/detailed answer has been provided so far.
I'm not sure if this is the right place for this question. I need to configure the Google Developer Console (and Google Wallet as well) in order to sell apps in Play Store. As you probably know Google has a list and not all countries are easily allowed to sell applications. However, there is one workaround using Payoneer and Google Wallet in order to get money from the apps sold. Basically you need to obtain an account in Payoneer and apply for "US Payment Services", doing this you will get a banck account in the US, after that you will need to create a Google Wallet Merchant Account and here is the problem:If your country is not listed in Google as an allowed location you will need to change the configuration in Google Wallet to an US address (you can get one in usbox.com for instance) and after that you will be able to create the Merchant account. The problem is that sells in Play Stores fail even if these steps were completed. I think that the problem is that I cannot verify my identity because I don't have an SSN or ITIN number.
Does anyone have more experience about this or know the required steps and configuration for Non-US Residents?
There is no general answer because if you are not a US resident, it still depends on your country. Depending on your country, you may get paid through wire transfer:

This applies to many but not all non US residents.

OK so in order to make a Google play account to distribute, I have to like make this Google wallet thing.. I want to know if it's allowed to do this if you are under 18. Also, for things like AdMob do you have to be over 18? Thanks!
you cant sign up for a adsense account(AdMob ) if you are under 18
read this
Taken directly from admob's site
If you are not yet 18, you may have a parent or guardian submit an application using their own Google Account. If their application is approved, all payments will be issued in this person’s name.
Google Wallet's ToS
By agreeing to these Terms of Service, you represent the following:
You are between 13 and 17 years of age and creating a Google Wallet account for the sole and limited purpose of redeeming Google Play Gift Card value for select items that are eligible for purchase by you on Google Play, subject to applicable laws and upon Google's discretion;
or
You are 18 years old or older; and
Capable of entering into a legally binding agreement.
So for admob you can use a parent's or guardian's assistance (so they will earn the money on their account), while on Google Wallet it seems that you can't earn money under 18, you can probably get a parent/guardian's assistance as well.
Keep in mind you don't need Google Wallet for free apps, I've uploaded many free android games but I'm not allowed to own Google Wallet where I live. You only need it for paid apps (or in-app purchase), you don't even need it for ads (like admob).
I have also wondered about this, but the simple answer seems like no unless you were to have your parents to do some parts for you.
This was taken from the Terms of Service just for a Google Play account:
"Age
Only users 13 years of age or older are permitted to use Google Play, and users under 18 must have their parent or legal guardian's permission to use Google Play."
"
More information can be found from the Google Play Terms of Service
That is only to use Google Play. On the other hand to become a developer, in order to distribute your application (Most likely a android app), you would have to pay a initial 25 dollar fee, and go on with additional steps, as shown here
In order to pay the initial fee, you would have to prove a valid credit card information which requires you to be the age of 18.
On the other hand, for AdMob you would have to read their own license and term of services just like you would for any third party application or service.
If you liked my answer, please mark this as the approved answer.
I will try to improve this answer as I gather more information.
I don't want to input my credit card for Google Play test. Is there any way I can do this like what we did in iOS IAP testing?
Or is it possible to create Redeem code for testing?
The reason is I'm not feeling comfortable to add my Credit Card number. One of my friends once was stolen about $600 through Google wallet (although Google paid him back later).
Another bad case is my another friend received the bill from his Credit Card company to pay for the testing of Google Play's In App Billing although Google said it's safe to do so.(He told me he even saw "This is a test order, you will not be charged" when he did testing)
Thanks
I think he was talking about the Google Play's In App Billing. So I don't think it's possible to use sandbox for testing.
Follow the documentation here. It will give you access to a group that will automatically input test cards into your current google account you're using within the sandbox https://developers.google.com/pay/api/android/guides/resources/test-card-suite
Situation:
Our company has an application in Google Play. Application uses in-app purchases and information about payment transactions are shown in google checkout.
Our company used in-house analytics system to see how many payments are done, how much money we got, etc.
I need to create some way to fetch information about payments from google play/checkout(#1) to our system (#2).
According to research in Internet, I found following ways to do that:
Polling API
Notification History API
Order Report API
All this sysstems will work for me, however, I need somehow to get Merchand Key in order to be able to request data from system.
Merchant key should be located in Settings -> integration, however, our company google checkout account has no "integration tab". According to interenet, reason is that we are not "standart merchant but google play merchant".
Questions are:
How to get information from google play about payments ?
Is there any other way to do such thing, for example directly from google play ?
Or, is there any other way to get merchant key ?
I am totally newbie in Android or google play so desperately need help.
