Solution 1 - Android

I had the same problem after paying for an app and after that the download process didn't start.

My solution: I visited the http://play.google.com/ website through my PC, searched for the app and selected the target device through the install-button.

BM-PPH-01 error message is usually shown when there is an incompatibility between any of the three App,Google Pay, Device.

The incompatibility can be the device's location such as Google play features not available when device is in China . An app can be restricted for downloading in US only.

Solution 3 - Android

I just now received the same error code [BM-PPH-01] when trying to push a paid app from the Play Store using my desktop web browser to my compatible mobile device.

As a workaround I was able to visit the Play store from my compatible mobile device - the app began downloading as soon as I opened the Play Store app. I had planned to click the app's Install button from the Play Store app but didn't need to.

I think I found the solution. Change your main address in Google Wallet according to the country whose store your are trying to buy/download.

Ex: I was trying to download a film using the German store but my main Google wallet address was set to Portugl. I changed the address and now it works.
