Google Payment Services - Oswego Google Apps

Overview

This article details how you can make Google purchases with student memberships such as NFL Sunday Ticket Student Plan and Youtube Premium student membership.

Issue

Issue:  User requests access to Google Payment services through their Oswego Google account but is denied.

Troubleshooting

We have payment services disabled for our entire oswego.edu domain by design and for security.  If you encounter a service that requires payment through Google services and requires a Gmail-based account, please create a personal (non-Oswego.edu) account which is freely available from Google.  You can then tie your payment to that account.

Examples of cases where a user may be prompted for Google Payment include:

You'll notice in both example articles that Google employs a third party (ie SheerID) for validation of your status as a college student, so you do not need your Oswego account for validation itself.
