Manage your payments profile

You can receive payments from Reader Revenue Manager with a payments profile in Google Payments Center.

With your payments profile, you can add multiple users and give them access to your payment account in the payments center. Your payments profile will be associated with your account through Google Payments Center. You can share and use it across other Google products.

Important: This payment profile:

• Applies to all publications within the same organization.
• Must be tied to a Google Account.
• Applies to all organizations that use the Google Account.

Publication ownership in the Publisher Center doesn’t automatically grant ownership of the associated payments profile. To manage payment settings or bank details, you need explicit user permissions in the Google Payments Center.
