I'm getting frustrated trying to figure out how to purchase apps for my child using a Google Play Gift card I purchased for him:
His tablet is a Samsung A310. His play store is signed in under his account which is a child account linked to my family. My account is the family manager.
When I try to "redeem a code" under his account, it tells me I need to do it on the parent account. I can't seem sign into my account on his tablet. When I attempt, i asks me for my own permission and then goes into an "Add a school account" screen which I don't want.
When I try from my desktop computer to add it under my Google account, my laptop tells me I need to do it on his device.
In the meantime, I read something about "Family Library." Maybe that's the answer but I can't figure it out.
How in the world do I translate the gift card into apps on his tablet?
Thanks for listening.
