Create a Google Cloud Billing account

Overview​

A Google Cloud Billing account is used to define who pays for a given set of Google Cloud resources and Google Maps Platform APIs. Access control to a Cloud Billing account is established by IAM roles.

A Google Cloud Billing account is connected to a DoiT International billing profile. This page explains how to create a Google Cloud Billing account directly from the DoiT Platform and link it to your company's billing profile.
