What's in your payments profile
You can find the following details in your payments profile:
- Who pays: The name and address of the person or company legally responsible for account costs.
- What you pay with: The payment methods you use to pay for ads. You can access this in a separate page.
- Tax details: Your tax status, country, and ID.
- Contacts: The contact details for people who are on the profile.
- Document language: In some countries, you can choose the language for your billing and payment documents. If language selection isn’t available, the official language of the billing country will be used.
How your payments profile works with your payments accounts
A payments account is part of your payments profile. Your payments account holds the settings for your Google Ads billing and payments activity. You might view this called an “invoice set-up” or "billing set-up" and is only for customers on monthly invoicing. If your account is on monthly invoicing, you can change your payments account by going to the Billing transfers page and clicking the pencil icon 
, then selecting Change invoice set-up.
Each payments profile can have multiple payments accounts associated with it. You may want to have multiple setups so that you can manage billing and payments for multiple Google Ads accounts. For example, an agency can use multiple invoice setups to manage billing activity for each of their multiple clients.
To request a change of account type (individual or organization) or other details that you can't edit yourself, contact the Google Ads support team.
How your payments profile works with other Google products
Your payments profile makes it easy to use your payment methods to pay for services in other Google products, like Cloud storage or Google Analytics. This also means that if you've already established a payments relationship in an existing Google Ads account or in another Google product, you may be able to choose to use that profile without reentering all your information or creating a new profile for Google Ads.
It's important to remember that when you edit profile details (such as payment methods) from within your Google Ads account, those changes will apply to other products that use the same profile. Visit the Google payments center for an overview of all products that would be impacted by an edit to a payments profile.
