I will start by apologising for the awful title and description - it's been a while hahah.

ANDROID WORKS - took me 1 to 2 minutes total to sign up.
Apple I don't know if there's a method - could android vm or use someone elses phone as a one off?

Roughly a year ago Spotify and Google play store made a press release stating that they were going to be trialing Google Pay and Merchant Pay. I checked it regularly and within the last week or two it has finally been added!

METHOD:

Pre-existing spotify account:
I Smell Pennies @OB

New/ Free Accounts

Blue Stacks (PC) - IOS alternative/ android back up method:
Iangh @OB
Android:

  1. Set up a Google Play account with a Turkish payment profile - after looking to save myself some effort this deal by alcheron's comment explains it pretty well - thanks SuBw00FeR for helping me find the correct one
  2. Download and/or open Spotify
  3. Go to the get premium tab on the bottom right of the home screen
  4. Select any plan
  5. Scroll to the bottom of the payment where it says your country
  6. Change country to Türkiye
  7. Click the change plan key (had one account have issues signing up which this solved)
  8. Select the plan you want
  9. Click Google Pay
  10. Select your Turkish payment profile
  11. Select/ enter the card you want to use

To add family members:

  1. On the head account go to: https://www.spotify.com/tr-tr/account/family/ and get the link
  2. Follow that link on the child account, enter in the same address as is on the head account (I used an NZ one and it worked, just make sure they are the same)
  3. I experienced issues adding one account, it was saying it was from a different account to the head - if you get this issue on their account go to: https://www.spotify.com/tr-tr/account/profile/ and check what country is listed. If it is New Zealand/Aus/anywhere other than turkey get them to connect via turkish VPN (I used PIA) and it'll give them the option to change it to Turkey
  4. They can then follow the same family link and use the same address as the head account and it should work now

And you're now sorted with what I believe is the cheapest Spotify Premium price currently available.

This method is imo less effort, cheaper, and doesn't need to be renewed, like the previously available cheap Spotify option posted on OzBargain

Any issues feel free to comment and hopefully we can troubleshoot it.

Thanks to Wakrak for formating help

      Your Spotify account also needs to be in Turkey not just the plan currency. If you have a premium plan already you can’t change country and you need to create a new Spotify account with VPN. If you are on free plan then connect to VPN and change Spotify country to Turkey for your profile account

      • illumination on 25/02/2023 - 18:35

        If you have a premium plan already you can’t change country and you need to create a new Spotify account with VPN

        It's possible to change the country of an existing account, so I don't think this is correct

        • illusion99 on 25/02/2023 - 18:39

          For a premium account? I don’t get that option. When I try it says to change country by changing the country on your payment method (which doesn’t help as you are trying to change your country BEFORE changing the payment method country)

      • rabkoa on 26/02/2023 - 15:46

          Doesn’t have to be a brand new account. Just an account that is on a free plan

    I successfully have the Google Pay option in TRY and my google play account's location and payment method is in Turkey, and Spotify is in TRY. But when I press "Continue with Google Play" it gives me the error that "Google Play purchases are not supported in your country".

        I ended up fixing it. For me my problem was that my Spotify account location was set to Australia and not Turkey (you need a VPN to change it to turkey, as if you try to change it the only option it gives you is 'Australia'. Keep in mind when you press "Continue with Google" ensure that a VPN connected to turkey is enabled on your phone. Following these steps troubleshooted these problems for me, hope it does for you too.

        • SkyFinance on 26/02/2023 - 03:36

      regular recommendations - recommendations are based off your IP address and listening hx

    After I click google pay, it says subscription not available- anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

    • TheWiggin on 25/02/2023 - 18:50

      Same issue for me, I have country set to turkey in both spotify and google play store.

      • youknow on 25/02/2023 - 19:19

        I have the same. I think I'm my case it's because the default google account on my phone is an Australian linked on, not the turkey one.

    • Rowjo on 25/02/2023 - 19:18

      so way back when I was originally setting up my payment profile for the first time I had issues with it not working - i\t was one of three things that fixed it off the top of my head
      Changing payment profile address (I dont think it was this that fixed it if Im honest, as I did it many times)
      Time - giving it a day or two once the payment profile is set up (I think this is what it was)
      Restarting phone - from memory I restarted a few times and nothing

      • Sl138 on 25/02/2023 - 19:29

        No worries, I'll give it a bit more time before trying again. Out of interest, after a while, the google play button also disappears on my new accounts, and I've got to make a new account to see it again.
        My payment profile is pretty new, as I just changed it yesterday for youtube plus

    • Voi on 26/02/2023 - 12:51

      Same here, I'm using account I already have set up for Disney+

    • IDontWantToSignUpJu… on 26/02/2023 - 10:34

      Worked for me. Some things I noticed:
      - Spotify profile must be set to Turkey. Use a VPN to do it so it shows in the country list.
      - Android must have only your turkish profile account enabled. I didn't want to delete my main account so I used an old phone I had laying around to do it.
      - I had VPN enabled while logging into spotify and it still wasn't showing the Google Play payment option. Turns out it's to do with the version of spotify downloaded via play store. I had to update play store, webview etc on my old phone and the correct version downloaded so I could use the payment option.

    Finally managed to get it to work. Steps I had to take/how to troubleshoot this:
    - I personally could only get it to work when I had my VPN on and set to Turkey
    - create a new Google account and setup Turkish payment profile as per instructions
    - remove all other Google Accounts from the play store except for the new one you've setup in Google Play Store - check account settings (settings -> general -> account and device preferences) and make sure the Turkish country profile is the only option availabe/selected.
    - some Spotify accounts might not work with this, so either make a new account or try another login
    - open Spotify, get premium, choose plan, change language to turkish (english), change country to Turkey, pay with Google Pay, select your Turkish payment profile and pick the card you want to use.

  • peuwayaqdq on 25/02/2023 - 21:42

    After some 4 hours I finally did it, here are some tips:

    • Yes I think you do need a VPN and a new Spotify account, since the Google Play payment option only works there. Wireguard somehow worked for me after PureVPN failed (I bought a 2 year plan so I'm praying that the 100% cashback tracks)

    • I have a Turkish profile on my main Google account, however I had to create a new Google account and repeated the steps since I couldn't change the Play Store from Australia to Turkey on my current account, maybe due to me being a Google Family planner.

    • I had success with the Up Virtual card, after changing the address on the card to my actual card address. I wanted to use a Turkish address since it somehow worked for the YT Premium deal but it didn't work in this case since it kept declining my card.

    @Rowjo worked a charm legend! Thanks for notifying us of this Google/Spotify partnership

    Since I already had a Turkey payment profile for Youtube, Google One etcccc, my steps were much easier and it only took a minute:

    1. Opened Spotify app
    2. Clicked on the premium tab on the bottom right of the home screen
    3. Showed “renew subscription” with Australian prices so turned on VPN, went to account profile and changed country to from Australia to Turkey (must use VPN to do this or it will grey out the option)
    4. Killed the app to refresh then back to Steps 1 and 2, then step 5
    5. Selected my family plan, scrolled down and clicked on Google Pay
    6. Already had my Australian card preloaded and just clicked pay

    I do note that starting from step 3 literally everything was in Turkish so I kinda had to guess my way around but as long as I saw TL49.99 and the Google Pay icon I know how to navigate 😎

    • used my old Google account (same one for Youtube/Google One)

    • madgasser on 26/02/2023 - 13:07

      So can you change either settings/country back so it's in English after?

      Is it fine to then drop the VPN after or do you need to keep using it to login? I assume that won't be an issue to login, but I mean more along the lines of potentially running into issues further on like getting plan cancelled or getting banned?

      • I Smell Pennies on 26/02/2023 - 15:18

        No you cannot change the country once you’re in a family plan.

        But everything is in English now anyway, it’s only the signup page and emails that are Turkish

        • illusion99 on 26/02/2023 - 16:17

          @illumination says that he/she can change countries. I’m not sure how they do it so hopefully they can comment on the steps to do so

          • I Smell Pennies on 26/02/2023 - 17:07

            @illusion99: I would like to be proven wrong but I’m gonna say he/she is wrong

            According to Spotify:

            The country or region of your Spotify account is based on where you were when you signed up.

            Got Premium?

            You can travel anywhere without having to change your account settings.

            If you still want to change your country or region, you need to update your payment method to one that's issued there:

            Log in to your account page.
            Under Your plan, click UPDATE next to your payment method.
            Enter a new payment method that was issued in your new country or region.
            The changes will take effect from your next billing date.

            Doing this would probably change the billing and subscription details - BUT I’ll test this tonight and report back. Willing to spend a few more bucks on another account to test for y’all

            Also, I don’t see a need to change countries tbh, doesn’t affect anything AFAIK

            • illusion99 on 26/02/2023 - 17:09

              @I Smell Pennies: Yes I agree with you and I did post a comment saying the same thing but @illumination told me I was wrong but did not elaborate.

              • illumination on 27/02/2023 - 03:07

                @illusion99: Sorry guys only just saw these comments.

                So based on what you guys are saying, I don't know if we're talking about the same thing. But see in I Smell Pennies comment this part?

                went to account profile and changed country to from Australia to Turkey (must use VPN to do this or it will grey out the option)

                This is what I'm referring to. You're changing the country of your account by doing this, are you not? And I have the exact same experience. By default, it'll always be set to a particular country (Australia for Ozbargainers). If you are either:

                • in a different country (e.g. New Zealand); or
                • have a VPN on with an IP address for a different country

                then the "Country" dropdown menu will have the following options:

                1. Australia (pre-selected)
                2. The country where Spotify thinks you are in

                This is what I meant by being able to change country, so I'm a bit confused by the comment here that it is possible to change country, but both you and I Smell Pennies also subsequently seeming to agree that the country can't be changed?

                Also to be clear - I'm not saying you can change country WHILE you are in a family plan (I would presume you can't?). I am saying you can change the country of your account - that is all.

                • illusion99 on 27/02/2023 - 06:41

                  @illumination: We are all saying the same thing. Let’s be clear. If you are on a FREE plan you can change your country in your account. If you are on anything other than the free plan (ie premium family, premium individual, premium duo) you cannot change countries

                    Yeah we pretty much are to some extent 😂😂😂

                    @illumination

                    I am saying you can change the country of your account - that is all.

                    This is way too broad to be correct and in fact your previous sentence invalidates it lol

                      @I Smell Pennies: @illumination likes to make broad brush comments. He said previously “this will work if you’re on a premium plan….(but you have to let it expire first)” and now this “You can change country…(but not if you’re in a family plan)”

                      Next he will say “You don’t need to use VPN to sign up for Spotify premium plan”….(unless you want to get cheap Spotify)

                    @illusion99: Ok I've caught up with the comments and yes I can see we're actually all on the same page.

                    Btw the comment of yours I contradicted was this:

                    If you have a premium plan already you can’t change country and you need to create a new Spotify account with VPN

                    I think you can now understand why I said this is not correct because you seemed to realise too here

                    This is way too broad to be correct and in fact your previous sentence invalidates it lol

                    It was my bad initially because I didn't realise the additional context of the conversation being that you guys were always referring to changing country whilst in a family plan - which I've never tried. I just knew that I have previously changed countries before. My previous comment reflects this - I said "I presume you can't" because of what you guys said.

                      @illumination: Yeah - no worries at all mate. Just a little misunderstanding and we all make mistakes so no stress yeah

        • madgasser on 26/02/2023 - 16:51

          Ah ok. Do you still VPN to login or just for the country change?

          • I Smell Pennies on 26/02/2023 - 17:02

            @madgasser: The VPN is simply to change the location of the account signing up and to change tbe locatio. of all family members who will be joining (or you get the error saying different countries etc)

      Hrmm doing this on PC (noting I am an iOS user), I can go to update my plan, change country to Turkey and the price changes to TL49.99 but only has card option, sadly no Google Pay (Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Discover Network).

      E: Nevermind, blindly missed the Android only (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

      • Maestrok on 26/02/2023 - 14:05

        likely still need android device for google pay to show up probably…. but if you were able to do everything else inc. add payment option etc. then all you'd need to do is log into Spotify on an android device and sign up to premium?

        could use something like bluestacks on PC maybe?

        • Teamtobes on 26/02/2023 - 14:06

          Ah that's a good shout, will give that a crack, thanks mate!

          E: Sadly I had the same experience - got to the same spot but no Google Pay offered

    • 7up on 01/03/2023 - 16:24

      which vpn do you use?

    My Google Play profile country is showing as Turkey but I am still getting error the subscription isnt available in your Google Play country for Spotify

  • bopinit on 26/02/2023 - 14:00

    Do I need to maintain a vpn to keep my play store in turkey? Or is it just for the first payment?

  • Maestrok on 26/02/2023 - 15:11

    Struggling with Google Play vs Pay ugh. Can set up the Pay profile etc. all well but having difficulty with the Play profile.

  • arghhhhhh on 26/02/2023 - 18:56

    do other family members also need to have a vpn on to join the family?

    • Kooratz on 26/02/2023 - 18:57

      yes

      • Maestrok on 26/02/2023 - 20:53

        really? ah that complicates things a bit.
