Refund test order on Google Play


How to refund in app purchase payed with test card?

I use "consume"-button in my debug version, but I wouldn't use it in release version (I don't want to show this button to end-users).

I see charded Test order in Google Play Console > Order management, but Button "Refund" is disabled: "The selected orders can’t be refunded either due to their age, status or your lack of requisite permissions".

Is there non-programming solutions?


Solution

  • EDIT: my refund button is no longer greyed out. Give it a try!

    There is no way to do this without extra work. Came across this reddit post - it looks like it used to be possible a couple of months ago.

    Here's Google's quote from the link:

    Thanks for contacting Google Play Developer Support!

    Unfortunately we don't currently support a way to cancel/consume test purchases through the console, you can only do so programatically.
