Paying for Apple Music via GCash is seamless and efficient. GCash is a digital wallet service used throughout the Philippines, making it a commendable enough service where transactions range from public transport to personal musical activity. Therefore, anyone who regularly uses a credit card or another service will have no problem adjusting that payment method to pay directly for their Apple Music from their mobile devices using GCash.

What You’ll Need

You will need the following prior to attempting payment via GCash for Apple Music:

1. An active Apple Music subscription.
2. An extremely verified GCash account linked to your SIM card.
3. A GCash wallet with enough credits.
4. You have the most updated version of Apple Music or the App Store (depending on which you are using).

How to get Apple Music using GCash—step by step.

Step 1. Open Apple Music or the App Store.

On your iPhone or iPad, either open the Apple Music app or the App Store. This means either tapping the Apple Music app on your device or selecting the App Store from your home page.

Step 3: Go to Subscriptions

Now go back to where your account settings say “Subscriptions.” This will open up your entire subscription history and what’s currently active. You can change what’s currently active right now with your Apple Music subscription. Click on “Subscriptions.”

Step 4: Select Apple Music

When the new page loads, select the one that has to do with Apple Music in any fashion. This is your chance to edit your payment for Apple Music.

Step 5: Select Payment Type

The payment type will load. Here you can select credit card, PayPal, or GCash. Select “GCash” as your payment type.

Step 6: Link Your GCash Account to Apple Music

If this isn’t the first time you’re doing this, as you’re required to link your GCash to your Apple ID, now is your chance. When you select “Link GCash” or “Add Payment Method,” a pop-up page appears requesting the following information:

• (1) your GCash mobile number;
• (2) the possible need to authorize the payment through a one-time PIN (OTP) sent to your registered GCash number;
• (3) any other prompts to validate and connect GCash to the account.

Now that you have linked your GCash account with Apple Music, you still have to pay. This means confirming the amount for the Apple Music subscription. Ensure that the GCash wallet has the correct load to accommodate the monthly fee for the subscription.

Step 7: Confirm Payment

After approving and validating the payment details, either confirm or press the payment option. A GCash notification should appear, confirming that the payment went through successfully. Therefore, payment is complete for Apple Music, creating a new subscription or renewing an existing one.

Your Apple Music subscription will be active the instant your payment goes through! You can enjoy millions of songs right away, and it will remain ad-free; personal playlists will be generated based on your listening patterns.

Potential Issues that Arise

Sometimes payment does not go through for various reasons. Here are some common issues and how to resolve them.

1. NOT ENOUGH MONEY. If your current balance in GCash is less than what it needs to transfer, payment will not go through. Ensure that you have enough in your GCash wallet prior to payment going through.
2. Payment Fails. You have a payment issue. Make sure your GCash is connected to your account and that your Apple ID is functioning. Also, make sure you have a stable WiFi connection.
3. GCash Doesn’t Appear As An Option. You don’t have GCash. Make sure your Apple Music app or App Store is updated. Also, make sure your country supports GCash payments.

Additional Recommendations

• Always Make Sure You Are Fully Verified With Your GCash Account: The earlier you address payment issues is by being fully verified with your GCash account. You can do this in your GCash app where it states “Verify Now.”
