If you use monthly invoicing to pay for Google products and services, you need to pay those invoices regularly to keep your services running. If your services are suspended, you can pay past-due invoices or request to increase your credit limit.
Important:
Before you pay an invoice, review the following guidelines:
- We don’t accept credit card payments, and checks can take longer to process than wire transfers.
- If the invoice hasn’t been generated yet, we can’t accept an advance payment.
- Please refer to your invoice for approved payment method options and payment details
- Remember to always include the associated Google invoice number (not your local tax invoice) and credit memo number with your payments, which can make payment application to your account much faster. If no details are provided with the payment, it might be applied toward the oldest charges in your account first. Make sure to include tax withholding documents, if applicable, and indicate which invoice they should be matched to.
- If you have questions about invoice numbers or payment processing, email the address shown on your invoice.
Pay online
- Sign in to the Google Payments Center.
- To review your invoices, click Statement of account tab
View open invoices.
- In the Actions menu, click Make a payment.
In some rare instances, like when your account has consistent payment failures, your ability to pay online may be restricted. If you believe this restriction was made in error, contact support .
Paying by ACH direct debit and setting up your bank account (US only)
If you pay your invoices using ACH Direct Debit, there may be requirements from your bank to allowlist Google's Company ID. This step authorizes Google to debit your account.
This is a common security feature on many business bank accounts. If the correct ID is not on your bank's allowlist, your payments to Google may be rejected or fail to process.
An ACH company ID is a 10-digit identifier used by banks and Nacha, the operator of the ACH network, to identify the entity collecting payments or sending money via ACH (also referred to as an originator).
Company IDs help ensure that debits are made on the correct bank account since some business bank accounts may have filters in place to deny debits from unknown entities.
To prevent payment failures, provide the correct Company ID to your bank.
It’s critical that you use the ID that matches the Google entity noted on your invoice.
If your invoice is from Google LLC:
Use Company ID: F770493581 to authorize debits from Google LLC.
If your invoice is from Google Payment Corp:
Use Company ID: C202597227to authorize debits from Google Payment Corp.
