Google Play gift card for in app purchases?

[Badewi]

I tried Go ogling this but cant find a definite answer. Can you use A Google pkay gift card toward in app purchases? Or if you redeem the card to your balance, does that balance get used to in app purchases? Thanks!!!

I believe the only restrictions are that it can't be used for hardware purchases or for subscription to Music.

Obviously, you can buy apps using google play gift card. If it isn't working, you may not add your payment method 1st.
As you wanted to buy apps from google play store, It shouldn't be happened. It's only limited for hardware. Except this you can buy all items like apps, games, Musics, Movies etc.
otherwise, you can contact with support.
