Use the Payment Information page to view and manage your payment methods that fund your account. Payment methods that are associated with your account, such as credit cards or PayPal can be updated from this page. Or, you can add a new payment method. Then, when your account balance is too low, we will automatically use your updated information to charge your account.
Selecting a Payment Method for Your Account
To select a payment type to use for your account:
Click the Administration tab > Accounts subtab.
- If you have one account, the Account Summary page opens.
- If you have more than one account, identify the account to manage and click the Account link. The Account Summary page opens.
Click the Edit Payment Information link in the Payment Method field. The Payment Information page opens.
Select a payment method from the Primary Payment Method dropdown list. This is the payment method that will be used to fund your account.
- Select a Credit Card to indicate you will be using a credit card to fund your account.
- Select PayPal to indicate you will be using this online payment service to fund your account.
Review your Automatic Charge Amount. This is the amount you will be charged on an ongoing basis every time your balance is low.
Click Save Changes to confirm your payment method.
Note: From this page, you can also review your Account Daily Spending Limit. However, this information is provided here for your reference only and cannot be edited from this page.
To help ensure that your account continues to display your ads, when your balance is low, your credit card or PayPal account will be charged the amount you specified in the Automatic Charge Amount field.
Note: Your account balance is low if it falls below the prior 3 days worth of click charges. Your account may be charged multiple times until your balance reaches the prior 3 days worth of click charges or 3 times your Account Daily Spending limit, whichever is lower. This amount must be available in your account at all times in order to keep your ads online.
To set up account funding:
Click the Administration tab > Accounts subtab.
- If you have one account, the Account Summary page opens.
- If you have more than one account, identify the account to manage and click the Account link. The Account Summary page opens.
Click the Add Funds link in the Account Balance field. The Add Funds page opens.
If you have not already done so, select a payment method for your account. You can use certain credit cards or PayPal to fund your account. Specify which Payment Method you will be using on an ongoing basis every time your balance is low.
- Select a Credit Card to indicate you will be using a credit card to fund your account.
- Select PayPal to indicate you will be using this online payment service to fund your account.
In the Amount to Charge field, enter the amount that you would like to add to your account balance. This is the amount that your payment method (the specific Credit Card or PayPal account) will be charged every time your balance is low.
Click Submit. Your payment method will be charged and your account balance will be updated to reflect the additional funds.
Note: In order to avoid multiple charges per day, the Amount to Charge value should be at least as much as your Daily Spending Limit. However, to keep your account online, we recommend that you choose an amount at least three times your Daily Spending Limit.
