If you did not request a refund within 48 hours You are still welcome to contact us and tell us why you want a refund if you for some reason didn’t make a refund within 48 hours using any of the above guides. Remember that to be able to refund you, we need the order-number of your purchase. You will find it in the purchase receipt email from Google Play. It has the following format GPA.XXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXX where the X:s represents numbers. App developers cannot identify orders without the order-number, so if you cannot find it, please contact the Google Play support instead: Submit a refund request online
We have noticed that some users believe that they can get a refund just by writing the word “refund” in the app rating/review. This is, of course, not realistic, since we have to know exactly which order that belongs to that particular user, and the only way is by using the order-number.
