Your Google payments profile stores information like:
- Name, address and tax ID (when required legally) of the person who is responsible for the profile
- Credit cards, debit cards, bank accounts and other payment methods that you've used to buy through Google in the past
- Receipts and other information about past transactions
- Subscriptions and recurring payments
- People that you have invited to use your profile
You can create a profile, use other profiles that 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 that you enter payment details during checkout.
When you enter new payment information for a Google product or service, it gets saved in a payments profile. The next time that you buy something through Google, you can reuse the information in the profile or create a new profile. Any payment profile that you create or are invited to is associated with your Google Account.
'Individual' and 'Business' profiles
Important: For some business products, like Google Ads, you may find that Account type = 'Organisation' 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 that you choose the one that best fits how you plan to use your profile.
- Individual: Choose this setting if you're using your account for your own personal payments.
