To keep you informed about the activity in your payments profile, Google sends email notifications for certain payments events. We send these notifications to the email address that you choose in your profile. You must choose one user as your primary contact to get emails. If you want to remove a user as the primary contact, first choose another user to be the primary contact of the payments profile.
Important: Primary contacts get all payments emails and may get purchase receipts. If you're a sole proprietor and don't want your primary contact to receive personal and business purchase info, consider separating your personal and business activity into two separate profiles.
