Take it back to the shop and change it for an Android phone.

LOL!

I'll admit though... I tried it back when I got my first windows phone

In your App list it is simply named Store... The icon looks like this:



It is not Google Play. None of those Apps will work on your Lumia 630. It is the Windows Phone Store.

It will not do this thing. Only Android phones can access Play. It also will not access the iOS App Store.

Your Lumia 550 is not an Android device.
