I am trying to deploy my nodejs app to google cloud. To do that you need to set up your billing account. I live in India and I've read some blogs online saying that google doesn't accept debit cards from India because they require Verified By Visa authentication and google doesn't implement that. What can I do? Do I NEED to get a credit card (credit cards work apparently)
If you don't have a credit card, please try to sign up with your debit card (assuming it has the Visa or Mastercard logo) as per below information.
If it does not work and you have further issues, please contact Google Cloud Platform billing with questions, as it will require discussing sensitive financial information that you shouldn't post on Stack Overflow.
Q1: do you need a billing account to sign up for free trial?
Per the billing docs:
Do I pay anything for the free trial?
No, the trial is free and you will not be billed. When your trial ends, your account will be paused and you'll have the option to upgrade to a paid account.
Per the Google Cloud Platform free trial FAQ:
You Won’t be Billed
When you sign up for the free trial, you are asked to provide your credit card information. This information is used only to verify your identity and let us know you’re not a robot. Your credit card is not charged during your free trial unless you upgrade to a paid account.
Q2: will debit cards work or do you need to use a credit card?
Per billing docs, you can pay via debit cards if they have the Visa or Mastercard logo. Also:
The payment methods available to you will depend on your currency and country. You'll see what payment methods are available to you when you sign up for Google Cloud billing.
Note that instant verification mentioned below is only available for US-based bank accounts at the time of this writing (20 Sep 2015). Otherwise, you can verify your bank account via trial deposits.
For more details, see the help page:
Choose a payment method
A payment method is what you use to pay for your costs, such as a credit card or bank account. The payment methods available to you will depend on your currency and country. You'll see what payment methods are available to you when you sign up for Google Cloud billing.
Credit cards and debit cards
Credit card and debit card payments allow you to specify a credit or debit card that will be used as a primary or backup funding source for monthly automatic or manual payments. We accept debit cards with the Visa or MasterCard logo.
Note: Prepaid cards are not accepted for payment.
Bank account (also known as direct debit)
Bank account payments allow you to specify a bank account that will be used as the primary funding source for monthly automatic payments. Your account won't be active until you've verified your bank account. Verification of your bank account may take up to 10 days. For information about instant bank verification, see Verify your bank account with instant bank verification.
Backup credit cards
If your primary form of payment doesn't work for some reason, a backup credit card makes sure your services keep running.
#Misha Brukman gives nice answer for this question but i just want to append some more information. I have checked #Mishra Brukman's answer and try to active my free trial Google Cloud Platform account and add card information in payment method but its not work with normal card. I have tried with VISA card and Master Card but not working.
Now i spent more then 5 hours and then found that we can open(active) account by using VISI debit card or Master Card also but Please make sure that the card should be supported for international transaction.
I have added VISI debit card detail which is supported international transaction and it works fine for me.

I'm using a VISA debit card. I have tried 3 times. My payment was successful but after that, every time I'm getting an error. This action couldn’t be completed. Try again later. [OR-BSBBF-103]
Please tell me what type of card I have to use.
There could be a few reasons, Kindly Check below Conditions :
As you are using a Debit card make sure to have international transaction acceptance . Kindly Check with your Card Provider.
If you tried many times then create a new gmail account which was never used for gcp .
Note: if you already used your card for GCP, then It should not have any credit balance with gcp bills. Clear if any remaining in other accounts.
Refer this official doc for Payment methods.
Edit-1 :
As per the official doc I can see below information with respect to the debit card:
When you enter a debit card as your form of payment, Google checks whether your issuing bank approves subscriptions or recurring payments using that card. If your bank does not approve, this card will not work for automatic recurring payments.
Also requested to create a free tier account via Incognito Mode or else try to clear the cookies , make sure that you don't have any ad blockers , Pop up blockers while doing this and have a try. Refer this Billing verification link

I've just created a Google Cloud Platform (for testing purposes only). It asked for my credit/debit card, it said it's completely free so I just fill in my debit card info. Then after that, when I go to the Billing Info tab, it said that I have 300$ in my account??? I mean what? Does it take from my debit card, still I've just checked my debit card money and it doesn't change yet (maybe tomorrow it will go down), but I'm super worried right now.
I want to ask:
Is this 300$ free? Or does it take from my debit card?
If I use some paid services here which use that 300$ cash, will it take from my debit card too? Am I free to use that 300$ during the free trial time without worrying about anything?
What happen after the free trial?
I am very new to Authorize.Net and i am having some difficulty in learning the business domain and logic for the Authorize.Net. I have read the documentation much as I could but did not find the answer of my question that :

Secondly how I will check that this amount is remaining in that credit card and where to check the account earnings or test money it is getting from charging that credit cards.
From where and to where i can get and applied the customer credit cards like the credit card number for test.
You can get test credit card numbers and information about testing using Authorize.Net from their testing guide.
How i will check that this amount is remaining in that credit card and where to check the account earnings or test money it is getting from charging that credit cards.
You can't. This information is not available through their API or any other API you can have access to.

In the official documentation says this:
After signing up, you might notice a $0-1 transaction from Google, which is a pending authorization request between our billing system and the bank that issued your credit or debit card. Authorizations might be converted to local currency by your bank, and these transactions might appear as pending on your statement for up to a month. Please keep in mind they are authorization requests only, not actual charges.
That means it is not a real charge just a check.
If you have any other doubt about it, talk with your bank or contact to Google Cloud Billing Support
I am looking for an API to allow customers to pay a service in bitcoins by inputting their credit card number or via bank transfer. Ideally the gateway would buy the bitcoins with the credit card and deposit them on a provided bitcoin wallet address.
I found some services like https://cex.io, but their api (https://cex.io/rest-api#place-instant-order) is not offering the payment through credit card option.
Any idea what would be the best way to implement something like this?
The https://cex.io IS the solution. However, the customer would have to spend the bitcoin - you cannot take a credit card, convert it Bitcoin and pay yourself. In essence you want to create a cash transaction from a credit card. Not possible I believe - nor legal possibly. The Bitcoin would have to go to the customer's wallet, and then THEY would need to send it to another Bitcoin address
