Don’t Miss Out on Your Earnings: Properly Set Up Your Google AdManager to Receive Payments
As a publisher, ensuring that you receive your payments from Google AdManager correctly and without delays is crucial. Incorrect settings can result in withheld payments, which can be frustrating. Here are the necessary steps to properly set up your account and avoid any issues.
1. Identity Verification
When your earnings reach the verification threshold, you will need to verify your personal information. Identity verification is essential to continue running ads and receiving payments. The goal is to confirm the accuracy of the information in your account and protect you against fraud. Learn more about identity verification.
2. Address Verification
When your revenue reaches the verification threshold, Google will send a PIN (Personal Identification Number) by mail to the payment address in your account. You need to enter the PIN in your AdManager account to receive payments. Learn more about address verification.
3. Validate Your Payment Information
- Payment Account and Payment Profile: Ensure that the data is correctly filled out. Learn more about payment profiles.

Common Reasons for Payment Holds
