Identify your business
To identify your business in Console, you must associate your Business Profile with a Google Payments Profile:
- If you have a Google Payments Profile that represents your business: Select a pre-existing Google Payments Profile from your list.
- If you don't have one or it isn't associated with the same business you're identifying: Create a new Google Payments Profile.
To use products and services within Console, your Business Profile must be associated with only one Google Payments Profile. If you must change your Google Payments Profile association with your Business Profile, sign in to the Console and use the Contact support page for help.
If your business operates in multiple countries, Console makes it easy for you to manage them. Create a new business for each country and go through the association process in the Business Profile of each business.
