Make default billing address là gì

Overview

A Cloud Billing account is used to define who pays for a given set of resources, and it can be linked to one or more projects. Project usage is charged to the linked Cloud Billing account.

If you are a billing administrator on only one Cloud Billing account, new projects you create are automatically linked to your existing Cloud Billing account. If you create or have access to multiple Cloud Billing accounts, you can change the Cloud Billing account a project is billed to. This article describes how to change the Cloud Billing account for your project, as well as how to enable and disable billing for a project.

If you want to receive invoices by email, or you want to change who receives them, see Change payments contacts and notifications.

Required Permissions

The permissions required to accomplish the various tasks described in this article depend on the task and are noted at the start of each topic.

• Understanding Predefined Identity and Access Management Roles for Cloud Billing

Check if billing is enabled on a project

Billing is enabled on a project if the following are true:

1. The project is linked to a Cloud Billing account.
2. The linked Cloud Billing account is active and in good standing - that is, the billing account is not closed or suspended.

See Verify the billing status of your projects to learn how to determine if billing is enabled on a project.

Change the Cloud Billing account linked to a project

Switching a project to a different Cloud Billing account should not result in any service interruption or server downtime, with the following caveat for Google Cloud Marketplace purchases.

Cloud Marketplace customers, do this first:

If you've made purchases from Google Cloud Marketplace in your project, be sure to make those same purchases in the new Cloud Billing account before switching the project. This will prevent your project from being disabled or losing data as a result of missing required resources. To learn about how you're billed for Cloud Marketplace purchases, see the documentation.

Enable billing for a project

How you enable billing depends on whether you're creating a new project or you're re-enabling billing for an existing project.

Enable billing for a new project

When you create a new project, you're prompted to choose which of your Cloud Billing accounts you want to link to the project. If you have only one Cloud Billing account, that account is automatically linked to your project.

If you don't have a Cloud Billing account, you must create one and enable billing for your project before you can use many Google Cloud features. To create a new Cloud Billing account and enable billing for your project, follow the instructions in Create a new Cloud Billing account.

Enable billing for an existing project

If you have a project where billing has been temporarily disabled, you can re-enable billing. If your Google Cloud resources were suspended when billing was disabled, it might take up to 24 hours for the resources to start up again.
