How do I fix the "Please setup google play store to make purchases" error?

[Android Central Question]

I get this error when I try to make an in-app purchase on my main account, but when I go on an alt account that has no money on it, it works.

I've tried to delete my account and clear cache and data, and restarting my phone, relogging onto my account but it still fails.

What can I do to fix this?

Welcome to Android Central! Open the Play Store app, tap Menu>Payment Methods, and make sure a valid form of payment has been selected.

I want to pay using Google play money, and I have no credit card that I can use, so how would I select to pay with Google play cash?

Have you already redeemed your Google Play gift card, so that the balance is in your Google Play account? https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/3422659?hl=en

Yes, I already have money on the account. It has worked forever but hasn't worked for about 3 weeks.

In the link I shared above, click the Get Help option at the upper right, then select the Google Play gift card option, then request a chat or call to see if someone from Google can help resolve the issue.

I want to pay using google play credits and I have no credit card.

I have tried to talk this problem through with the assistants at google play support but none of them have seemed to resolve the error.

I hope someone can help me, because I'm getting really tired of not being able to pay for things in an app with an account that has plenty of money.

Ask me any questions, ill try to have an answer for you as soon as possible.

Thanks!
