Payment methods work across Google; it may ask for a tax ID or ID verification and may use payment data to check age

Google explains that if you add a credit card or other payment method to your Google Account, you can use it to buy things across its services, such as apps in the Play Store. It may also ask for other information, like a business tax ID, to help process payment, and in some cases may need to verify your identity and ask for information to do so. It may also use payment information to verify that you meet age requirements, for example if you enter an incorrect birthday indicating you are not old enough to have a Google Account.
