Get paid with your earnings

Important:

• Google Play partners can sell ebooks and audiobooks in certain countries/regions. The features described here aren't available in every country/region.
  • Due to regulatory requirements, Google can't offer pre-orders in India. Your book will be available in the Google Play Store in India on the release date.
• Pre-orders allow customers to order, but not read, your book before its release date. On the release date, customers who pre-ordered your book are charged for the purchase and they gain access to the book.
• Before you upload any files, make sure your content meets Google's guidelines. If you plan to sell your books on Google Play, review our publisher content policies for books on Google Play.
• Analytics charts and sales transaction reports use the date the customer placed the pre-order, so that you can measure customer anticipation level. Revenue shown in such orders isn't paid to you until the book is released. For a financial report that matches your payment, go to Google Play earnings reports.

Important: If you missed an expected payment, sign in to the Book Partner Center and go to the Payment Center. To find alerts about issues that prevent payments, edit each payment profile.

To receive payments:

• If you're not paid through wire transfer, your bank account must be verified. Learn more about wire transfer and how to verify a bank account.
• Your balance or any earnings still due to be paid to you must meet a minimum amount. Learn more about the minimum balance for payment.
• If you sell books on Google Play in the US or in US dollars, you also need to provide tax information.
• For some countries, you need to verify your business information.

For bank accounts in some countries, Google makes deposits through wire transfer in US dollars. To check if your country receives payments by wire transfer, refer to the list of countries supported for payment.

At this time, Google doesn't offer alternative payment methods for sales revenue for books on Google Play.

Payments made through wire transfer require a balance of at least $100 USD. Learn more about wire transfers.

The minimum balance for EFTs varies on the currency of the payment. For payments made in US dollars, the minimum amount is $1.00 USD. Minimum amounts for other currencies are in a similar range. To check this amount, visit the Payment Center, edit your payment profile, then check the threshold listed by the payment schedule.

If you have multiple payment profiles, you'll receive a separate payment for each profile, subject to its own minimum payment amount.
