Resolve payments profile setup issues

If you have a problem completing the sign-up form and creating your payments profile, make sure that you followed the guidelines below:

Sign up from a supported country: Depending on the Google product, we may not support your country for merchant payments yet. Learn more about countries we support for merchant and developer registration.
Use a physical business address: Currently, Google lets merchants use only a physical address in their payments profile. We don't allow merchants to use PO boxes as their business address.
Use correct credit card formatting: Our system accepts only a-z, A-Z, and 0-9 as inputs for the "Credit card statement name." If you use other characters or languages, you'll see an error.
Use a legal business name that's not too long: Our system allows business names up to 60 characters only.
