Configure account settings

You can access your account settings by signing in to the Partner Centre at play.google.com/books/publish/ and clicking Account Settings in the left-hand menu. (Account Settings are only available to users with administrative access.) There are several types of settings for your account.

If you're looking for default settings for your books, go to the Book Catalogue instead and manage your templates.
For information on setting up your payment settings for Google Play, see our overview of sales and payment settings.
