Spotify offers both free and premium subscription tiers. The free version allows you to enjoy music without needing a credit card. However, if you subscribe to Spotify Premium, you’ll need a payment method on your account.
Here’s the key point to remember: you can’t update your payment method directly through the Spotify mobile or desktop app. You’ll need to use a web browser on your computer or mobile device. Alternatively, you can also update your payment method through the Google Play Store.
Keep in mind that when you update the payment method on Spotify, changes will take effect from your next billing date. Now let’s look at how to change your payment method on the Spotify website and Google Play Store.
Step 1. Visit spotify.com/account and log in to your Spotify account.
Step 2. Select Manage your plan under Account.
Step 3. Click Update next to your payment method.
Step 4. Select a new payment method and enter your billing information. Save your changes to update your Spotify payment.
Step 1. Open the Google Play Store app and tap your profile icon in the top right corner.
Step 2. Go to Payments & subscriptions > Subscriptions > Spotify.
Step 3. Tap Update under Primary payment method.
Step 4. Tap Add credit or debit card to enter a new payment method. Set the new payment method as your primary payment method on Spotify.
Spotify does provide a download feature, however, only Spotify Premium subscribers can download albums and playlists. You can only download podcasts with a free Spotify account. When downloading, keep in mind that Spotify does not support individual song downloads. Instead, you’ll need to add songs to a playlist and download the entire playlist. In addition, once you’ve downloaded content from Spotify, it can only be accessed through the Spotify app. Reinstalling the app may result in losing your downloads.
