Your Google payments profile stores information like:
- Name, address, and tax ID (when required legally) of who is responsible for the profile
- Credit cards, debit cards, bank accounts, and other payment methods you’ve used to buy through Google in the past
- Receipts and other information about past transactions
- Subscriptions and recurring payments
- People you invited to use your profile
You can create a profile, use other profiles you’re invited to, edit profile information, or delete profiles.
Create a payments profile
If you pay for Google products or services, a payments profile is automatically created for you the first time you enter payment details during checkout.
When you enter new payment information for a Google product or service, it gets saved in a payment profile. The next time you buy something through Google, you can reuse the information in the profile or create a new profile. Any payments profile you create or are invited to is associated with your Google Account.
"Individual" & "Business" profiles
Important: For some business products, like Google Ads, you may find Account type = "Organization" instead of "Business."
When you create a profile with some Google products and services, you’ll be asked whether it’s an "individual" or "business" profile. This information must be accurate for tax and identity verification.
Tip: You can only edit your legal company name with a business account. Learn how to update your payments profile.
This setting can’t be changed. Make sure to choose the one that best fits how you plan to use your profile.
