How to add a payment method for existing ad account

When you create ads with Meta Ads Manager, you'll be prompted to add a payment method before you can publish your first ad. You can add and change the payment method for your ad account from your payment settings.

• You have to be an admin of the ad account. Otherwise, you may encounter an error.
• Make sure that the payment method you're trying to add is an accepted payment option for Meta ads.

How to add a payment method in Meta Ads Manager

To add a payment method to your ad account:

1. Click Payment settings in the Billing section of Ads Manager.
2. In the Payment methods section, click Add payment method.
3. Check location and currency. If some of this information needs to be updated, a new ad account must be created.
4. Select the payment method that you want to add and click Next.
5. Check or update the Edit billing information form and click Next.
6. In the Confirm updates form, select the option that best fits your needs, pause ads or keep ads running and click Confirm.
7. Click Done.

The new payment method is added to your existing ad account.

If you have multiple payment methods saved to your ad account, you can set a default payment method. We'll first use your prepaid funds if you have any. If you don't have any prepaid funds, we'll charge your default payment method when you make a payment for your ads.

If you share your payment method or ad account with others, make sure that you check with them when you don't recognise the charges on your bill. It's possible that someone you've shared information with has run ads using your payment method or ad account.
