Transaction ID for google play to transfer app to another account

Question

I need to transfer an app to another account. I already transferred many apps. But Google might have changed the way to get TRANSACTION-ID.

I've already visited below answers: and all seems OUT-DATED.

They all are suggested to go-to Payment Page. I tried all the URLs listed below.

But they all are redirecting on the same very same Url !! and displaying page below:

So is there any Url which reaches the correct page which can provide TRANSACTION-ID.

If your order id is "01234567890123456789.token.0123456789012345" Just remove the part before “token”

If your order id is "0123456789.Registration.0123456789", just remove the part before "Registration"

I can't believe they don't make this clearer anywhere I can see. Thanks for the help! – Benjamin S Apr 09 '21 at 16:40
And if it’s “0.G.012345678901234”, remove the leading “0.G.”. – caw Jul 22 '21 at 05:00

As it stands currently (8-1-2019), the new form (which directs you to your playstore console) to transfer apps to different accounts found here is NOT working:

https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answer/6230247?hl=en

I know this because I used to be able to transfer my apps no problem with the old form. But using the new form, I always get the error "the transaction ID does not match for this developer account" in the target ID field. I have already emailed google seeking support, will update if I get a response.

Have you got any response? Whom did you ask? I have the same issue now and cannot find any option to contact a human out there :( – Ilya Shinkarenko Oct 21 '19 at 22:02
nope no response, they really need to test their stuff before making it public. I am surprised not many people complain about it either... Basically old form was working fine, but they had to make a new one that fails. A typical case of if it ain't broken, don't fix it – Bqin1 Oct 24 '19 at 17:21
I still have this issue now, February 2020. – mattsson Feb 24 '20 at 09:13

UPDATE (2nd Nov. 2022):

Solution 1: Search developer registration fee or payments-noreply@google.com keyword in inbox. If an email like below is found, we can get the transaction id directly from the email.

Solution 2: Get transaction id from https://pay.google.com

Solution 3:

If your order id is 01234567890123456789.token.0123456789012345 Just remove the part before token

If your order id is 0123456789.Registration.0123456789, just remove the part before Registration

Solution 4:

This is not recommended way but, append PDS. before Payments profile ID / Transaction ID.

For example my Id was 4766-8303-0058 and now Id is PDS.4766-8303-0058 you can use.

In my case, It worked like charm !!!

Get more info from Transfer apps to a different developer account and here.

Thanks for answer. I was fighting with this issue for several days. I'll check it ASAP. – Paweł Iwaneczko Feb 09 '19 at 13:22
I have this exact issue now, and I do append **PDS.** but still get "The transaction ID does not match for this developer account", so I am lost. – mattsson Feb 24 '20 at 09:12
@mattsson can't you access you payment -id from [this URL?](https://payments.google.com/) – Rumit Patel Feb 24 '20 at 09:56
The error was caused by entering the wrong target account email address – mattsson Feb 25 '20 at 12:14
