When you buy something from Google, your payment info gets saved in your payments profile.
The next time you buy something through Google, you can reuse the info in the payments profile which is connected to your Google Account.
Your individual Google payments profile stores info like:
- The name, address, and tax ID (when legally required) of who's responsible for the payments profile.
- Your credit cards, debit cards, bank accounts, and other payment methods you’ve used to pay for things on Google.
- Other addresses you've used with Google, like for autofill on Chrome and Google Pay.
- Receipts and other info about what you’ve previously purchased.
- Recurring subscriptions and payments.
Tip: If you manage a Google payments profile for a business or organization, learn how to manage business profiles.
Manage your payments profile settings
Your payments profile contains the following settings:
- Payments profile ID: The payments profile ID (formerly Billing ID) is the unique number we use to identify the legal entity responsible for bills associated with this Payments account. The legal entity is the organization or individual to which this Payments account is registered. This ID can’t be changed.
- Country or region: You can’t change a legal country or region associated with your current payments profile. If you moved, are traveling, or have temporary residence in another country, you must create a new payments profile.
- Account type: This setting is permanent and may be used for tax and identity verification. This will be shown as an Individual or Organization, if you’re a business, organization, partnership, or educational institution.
- United States tax exemption info: Some businesses may qualify for a US tax exemption. Learn more about business tax exemption info.
- Name: This name appears on invoices and tax documents. Learn more about how to change your payments profile legal name.
- Address: This is the legal address of your home or business. Learn more about how to change your payments profile legal address.
- Phone number: This is the phone number associated with your profile.
- Document language preference: This is the language you prefer for documentation.
Manage more than one payments profile
If you use your profile for personal payments, you can only have one payment profile for the country you live in. This makes it easy to manage all of your Google purchases in one place.
You can have more than one payments profile if:
- You move to a different country or region: You need a new payments profile for each country you live in.
- You have a business payments profile: You can have a separate profile for your business.
