Common Google Play Store error codes and How to fix them

Had this ever happened to you? You discover a noteworthy application and try to download it, solely to receive a cryptic error message containing apparently random numbers from Google Play Store. Pretty annoying, right? Here are number of the foremost common Google Play Store errors and their solutions.



Google Play Store Error DF-BPA-09 'Error process Purchase'

Problem:
Google Play Error Processing Purchase DF-BPA-
09 happens quite often when trying to download an app. This problem won’t go away if you simply try downloading again, so you’ll need to go into the settings.

Solution:
The problem is not due to individual users, but to Google Play itself, so we’re hoping it will be fixed in the near future. In the meantime, here is what you can do:

  • Go into the Settings of your device
  • Tap on Applications or App Manager (the name varies depending on your device).
  • Swipe to the All column.
  • Scroll down until you see Google Services Framework
  • Finally, choose 'clear data' and then OK.


If this doesn't work, go on to the Google Play site on your PC and install the app that is giving you issues on your smartphone or tablet from there. When you go back to your device, the install should work.

Problem:
Error caused when trying to download games or apps from the Google Play Store.

Solution:

One fix for this issue is to clear the cache data for Google Play Services and the Google Play Store.

  2. Scroll to 'All apps' and then to the 'Google Play Store' app.
  3. Open the app details and tap the 'Force stop' button.
  4. Next tap on the 'Clear data' button.
Now repeat the process above but replace 'Google Play Store' with 'Google Play Services' at step two and then attempt your download again.  
If that doesn't work, don't worry, the issue has now been resolved and a fix is being rolled out in the next version of the Play Store app. Just make you have the latest Google Play Store APK and you shouldn't experience this error again.
