Another way to access this page is from the Play Store application. Simply open the shop menu (the three stripes in the upper left), tap on “Payment methods” and finally select “Payment settings”. The browser will open with the indicated page, as the cards cannot be deleted or edited from the Play Store application itself.

As you surely saw above, in addition to removing the credit card from the cell phone, you have next to the “Edit” button, which, as its name indicates, allows you to edit or update the card information, such as month and year of expiration, CVC, owner’s name and address.

Finally, if you scroll to the bottom of the page you will see the option “Add payment method”, which will allow you to add a credit card to your Gmail account, which will automatically appear on the Android device to make purchases in the Play Store.

Unfortunately this is no longer the case. The default card will be the first one you see on this list. If you have a second card in your account and you want to set it as the default, the solution will be to delete the first card and then add it again.
