So I have a google account that has all of my payments and stuff on it.

[Android Central Question]

But I also have another account, but you can't put payments on that. Right now I am logged into google play games in my real account, and when I downloaded an app, I was in that account. But when I was trying to make an in app purchase, it said I was in the other account. How can I fix this?

Welcome to Android Central! Unfortunately, you can't move purchases or credits between accounts.

I think the OP is taking about a known issue with in-app purchases.

Here is the scenario... A person has two Google accounts on the phone. Account A is the main one which is used for virtually everything... It is the default. Account B is a secondary account used primarily for email, probably for business. All purchases on Google Play are made with Account A.

The person downloads an app using Account A and wants to make an in-app purchase. Instead of defaulting to Account A, Google Play defaults to Account B and the person cannot make it choose Account A even though the person is presently signed into Account A on Google Play

I have experienced this issue and the only solution I have found is to delete Account B, make the in-app purchase with Account A, then reload Account B.

As stated earlier this is a known issue that Google is aware of but has not fixed.

I see, thanks for clarifying that. But in that situation, when you're in the game, can you tap the Google Play Games icon (in the game, not the actual Play Games app shortcut) and see which account you're logged into? If you're logged into the B account, can't you log out of it and then log into the A account?

That might work. If run into the same issue in the future I will try it out and post here. I hope the OP is reading this and tries it out.
