Add or change payments user email preferences

To keep you informed about the activity in your payments profile, Google sends email notifications for certain payments events. We send these notifications to the payments contact email address you choose in your profile. You must choose one user to be the profile's primary contact to get all emails. If you want to remove a user as the primary contact, first choose another user to be the primary contact of the payments profile. 

Primary contacts get all payments emails and may get purchase receipts. If you’re a sole proprietor and don’t want your primary contact to receive personal and business purchase information, consider separating your personal and business activity into 2 separate profiles.

Payments profile owners and admins can choose the following types of email preferences for payments profile users:

• All payments emails: Users you choose to get all payments email get:
