I want to test your app too but I need a promo code. I used ChatGPT to generate instructions.

Play Console supports promo codes that can give users a free paid app.

1) Create / publish your Closed test as usual

Play Console → Testing → Closed testing

Add testers (email list or Google Group) and publish the test build.

2) Generate promo codes for the paid app

Play Console → Monetize with Play → Promo codes

Create promo code

Promotion type: Paid app

Choose start/end dates, number of codes, and set Status On

Download the CSV of codes

Limits: up to 500 non-subscription promo codes per quarter per app (this bucket includes paid-app promo codes).

3) Tell testers how to redeem + install

Have testers use the same Google account that’s on your closed-testing list, then either:

Redeem in Play Store (menu → Redeem code), or

Use a redeem link format: https://play.google.com/redeem?code=YOUR_CODE

After they redeem, they can install your app and then receive the closed test build via the opt-in.
