as the others have stated,sounds like you simply installed superuser(or supersu) from the play store,wich does not install the matching binary required for the play store app to funtion.

you will need to boot,or install a recovery,and use that recovery to flash a superuser package :)

Go here:
[2014.06.30] SuperSU v2.01 - xda-developers

Scroll down to the Downloads area in the first post where you see:
CWM / TWRP / MobileODIN installable ZIP: SuperSU Download

Follow the link show, and download the version shown there.

Place that file on the root of your SD card or internal memory. Boot to recovery, Wipe select cache and dalvik cache swipe to wpe, Install select the SU file, swipe to install. Reboot.

Profit!

Any problems, let us know! :)
