Google has recently enabled support for promotion codes for paid apps and in app purchases. You will first need to setup a promotion through your Google play store developer console:

Or add support for in app purchase codes through in app promotions:

Note however that there are limits to the amount and type of codes that can be created:

For each app, you can create up to 500 promo codes per quarter. To reach that limit, you can use any combination of paid app and in-app promo codes.

Here are some ways you could reach your promo code limit for an app:

• 500 paid app promo codes, or
• 500 promo codes for one in-app product, or
• 250 paid app promo codes + 250 promo codes for one in-app product, or
• 100 promo codes for five in-app products
