A saved payment method works across services; Google may ask a tax ID, verify identity, and use it to confirm age
If you add a credit card or other payment method to your Google Account, you can use it to buy things across Google services, like apps in the Play Store. Google may also ask for other information, like a business tax ID, to help process your payment, and in some cases may need to verify your identity and ask for information to do so. Google 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.
