[SOLVED] IAP GooglePlay test purchase is charging real money

I’m using a test account added to the alpha test group (And accepted to participate through the Opt in link). The purchases are working just fine. The only problem is that it is charging real money instead of showing the Test Purchase box. What should I do to make it show the test purchase box that don’t charge you real money? I browsed the forum but couldn’t find any relevant information about it.

You would want to contact Google regarding the purchases, but this is not something we’ve heard of happening previously. Are you seeing this purchases on the Google Play developer console (and coming out of your bank) ?

Thank you for your reply, Jeff! Yes. My test account was charged and I can see the purchase on the Google dashboard. The app is published as an Alpha release, the products are configured since thursday. I`ve set another test account that also accepted participating through the opt in link and this account is also being charged with real money :frowning:

I will contact Google and I will return to this thread once I have a solution! Thanks again!

Just to confirm, you are logged into these test accounts on the device prior to launching the app. correct?

I just ran into this while testing another issue. I think Google changed how you add users to your Alpha testing.
In addition to adding them to the “Manage Testers” section of the Alpha release page, they also need to be added to the License Testing section of your account.

  1. Go to your Google Developer Console and go to the Settings page.
    Google Play for business | Launch & monetize your apps | Google Play Console

  2. Go to Account Details (under Developer Account)

  3. Scroll down to the License Details section and add the testers there:
