Billing and Payments  Add billing information to your account before your free trial  expires so you can continue using G Suite without interruption.   We recommend that you set up your billing early during your  free trial. You won't be charged until your trial is over. You can  cancel during your trial without making any payments.  You can pay by the month and cancel your G Suite subscription  any time, or pay for the whole year at a discounted price.    You may have different payment options depending on your country.  See what payment options are available in your country.    Important: You can’t change the country later, so choose the country  where your business is located.

1.3

Decide how many users you need   You need a user account for every team member who uses G Suite. An account  provides users with a name and password to sign in to G Suite, as well as an  email address if you use Gmail.  1.

Enter the number of users you need:   ○

If you selected the Flexible Plan:  The number of users is already there. It is based on the  number of user accounts you currently have, so you can’t  change it here. You can add or remove users later if you  need to. 

○

If you selected the Annual Plan:   The number of users you enter here is the number of user  licenses you commit to purchasing for the year. If you need to add  more users at a later date, you can buy more licenses. You can't  remove licenses until it's time to renew your annual contract. 

2.

(Optional) If you have a promotional code, click Promotion Code and  enter it in the field.

1.4

Click Continue. 

Agree to the terms of service  You must agree to the G Suite terms of service before you can continue.    1.

Review your plan. 

2.

(Optional) To make changes to your plan, click Back.  

3.

Check the box to accept the G Suite for Work agreement. 

4.

Click Continue.  

Annual Plan subscribers: With the Annual Plan, you commit to paying for a full  year of service for the licenses you purchase now—even if you cancel service  before the year is up. However, your commitment doesn't begin until your free trial  ends. If you're still in your trial, you can switch to the Flexible Plan before your trial  ends without paying a closeout charge. After your trial ends, you commit to the  annual payment.

Select your type of billing account  Next, select whether your G Suite service is for personal or business use. In  some cases, you can specify a Value Added Tax (VAT) number that will  exempt you from incurring VAT charges. For details, see VAT overview.  Important: You can't change your Business or Individual setting later. 

1.6

Enter your contact information  Some information may already be filled out, based on details you entered when  you signed up for G Suite. You can change this information now, or you can come  back to your billing settings later to change it.  1.

Under Name and address, enter the business name and address  you'd like associated with your billing account. They will appear on  any invoices or receipts for your account.  

2.

Under Primary contact, enter the name, phone number, and email  address of the person you want to be the primary contact for billing  notifications. We'll email secure messages to them.  

1.7

Choose your payment method  Next, decide how you’d like to pay for G Suite.   When your free trial is over and your paid service begins, you’ll be charged  every month for your subscription. If you bought a domain from Google when  you signed up for G Suite, your domain registration was paid for with the  payment method you used at the time of purchase.  You can change your payment method at any time from Billing in your   Admin console.  To keep using G Suite without interruption, always keep your payment method  up to date.  Depending on your country, you may have some of these payment   options available:   ●

Credit or debit card: To pay with your card, select Credit or debit card  and enter your card details. We recommend adding a back-up credit  card in case your primary card payment is declined.

●

Bank account: Depending on your country, you may be able to pay  with your bank account (direct debit). To do this, select Bank account  and enter your details.  

●

Manual Prepay: Add credit to your account by paying in lump sums  with your primary billing method. Instead of charging your primary  payment method, we’ll debit the automatic payment from your  prepaid credit. 

Note: If bank payment is available, it may take a few days to verify your  ownership of the bank account. If your free trial might expire before the  account is verified, add a credit card as your payment method. This way,  your service remains uninterrupted. You can then come back later to   change your payment method to your bank account.
