Android testing different currency prices

I have been trying to find an answer to this for a while now, but all the result are at least 5-6 years old, with no satisfactory answer.

How to test local prices? All I want to, is to be able to see the SKUs in different currencies, for each country the app is supported in. I can't believe that in the current time there is no way to manually change your Play Store region without having a valid payment method for that region, or using a VPN (at least based on the top search result on how the currency is selected)

iOS has a sandbox account that you can manually change the country and with that the currency it will show, is there nothing like that for Android?

I use a test account, so I have the test cards, but I don't see any way to change the country/currency for it.

I really hope that I'm just missing something obvious, and there is a way to test this.

It's 2024 now. Google recently launched 'Play billing lab'. You need to download the app from play store and change the country. Visit https://developer.android.com/google/play/billing/test#play-billing-lab

To change the currency, follow these steps:

  1. Access the Google Play Store app.

  2. Choose the “Menu” icon.

  3. In the dropdown, choose “Account.”

  4. Find your country and name underneath the “Country and profiles.”

  5. If you don’t already have a payment method for the new country, you will have to add it first. The first payment method has to be from the country you are creating a profile for. The Google Play Store will automatically change to the new country. This can take up to 48 hours to apply, but it’s also possible for the change to happen sooner.

If you don’t have a payment method for the new country, here’s how to add it:

  1. Access the Google Play Store app.

  2. Choose the “Menu” icon.

  3. From the dropdown, select the “Payment methods” page.

  4. Under the “Add payment method” section, select the one you would like to add.

  5. Input the card number, the “valid thru” date, and the card verification code (CVC).

  6. Edit the cardholder name, or address information if needed.

  7. Select “Save” and the new payment method will be saved to your Google account.
