When you first make a purchase through Google, your payment information gets saved in a payments profile. The next time that you buy something through Google, you can reuse the information in the profile.
Any payments profile that you create is associated with your Google Account.
Your individual Google payments profile stores information like:
- The name, address and tax ID, when required legally, of who's 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.
- You can use other addresses that you have added across Google services, like autofill on Chrome and Google Pay.
- Receipts and other information about past transactions.
- Subscriptions and recurring payments.
Tip: If you manage a Google payments profile for a business or organisation, learn about business profiles.
Manage more than one payments profile
If you use your profile for personal payments, you can only create one individual profile for the country or region that you're in. That way, you can manage all of your Google purchases from a single place.
You can have multiple payments profiles if you:
- Change your home country or region: If you have moved, are travelling or have temporary residence in another country or region, you must create a new payments profile.
- Have a business payments profile: You may have an individual profile and a business profile tied to your Google Account.
