Payments in the Play Store with credit can be made immediately. To be sure, use the number you use to check out that you use on your phone so that the checkout process goes smoothly.
Steps to purchase Play Store apps with credits
This article shows you the easiest way to buy a product from the Play Store. Even if the title is an application, you can in principle also apply this method to buy other products like i said above.
Open the Play Store app.
Go to the app or product that you want to buy.
Click the price to start buying.
Make sure that GPay is set as the mobile card in use.
Then click the Buy button.
Usually you will be asked to enter your Google Account password to proceed.
Then wait a few moments until the payment is successful.
Sometimes you will be asked to enter a code that Google sent via SMS to verify the number. But most of the time it runs automatically so you don’t have to enter the code, also known as auto-enter.
And with some mobile phone cards, when the payment process starts, a dialog such as USSD appears on the screen for confirmation. Please follow the on-screen instructions to proceed with your purchase.
After successful payment, the application installation process will be carried out immediately. Messages are also sent on e-mail bills as proof of payment.

About value added tax (VAT)
Any product purchased on the Play Store or in applications that use GPay’s payment process is subject to a small additional price as a tax. Each cell phone card has its own VAT regulations.
So, for example, you buy an app for 90 thousand rupiah, the possibility of paying out the total credit is approx 92 thousand rupiah. And this is just an example, as the VAT estimate is usually shown on the screen when the purchase is confirmed.
So don’t be surprised if there is an additional fee, it doesn’t mean the price is wrong, just the VAT.
Hopefully useful and good luck
