How to add a payment method for Facebook Ads

When you create ads with 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.

Note: If your ad account is set up for manual payments, you can't add a payment method using these steps. Instead, add money to your ad account using a manual payment method. Also, some payment methods aren't available to use. For example, PayPal.

Before you begin

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