Applies to Cloud Identity Premium and other paid subscriptions in your Google Admin console.
When you set up billing for your subscription, you enter a primary payment method that we charge automatically for your ongoing service. Later, you can change your primary payment method or add other methods. For example, you could add another method to use as a backup for automatic payments or to split payments between methods.
About payment options
- The exact payment methods and currencies you can use depend on your location.
- If you subscribe to additional services, you can choose an existing payment method or add a new one.
- While we keep the payment method on file, you still approve any charges. We don’t autodraft funds for your first payment.
