Google Ads Payment Methods
In this article, we will talk about Google Ads Payment Methods and the best way, and how the billing mechanism works in Google Ads.
We start with the most important questions you ask us on a frequent basis.
- Which card should I use?
It is recommended to use the debit card of the advertised business, which shares the same VAT number. Avoid using the card of your spouse or other member from your family
Additionally, you can add your credit card. The most common type of cards you can register are Mastercard, Visa, American Express, Discover and Diners Club.
Make sure the card has sufficient balance, as Google can withdraw money at any time to cover your advertising budget. We will analyze this specific below.
- What is the process of adding the card?
When creating your Google Ads account, you’ll be prompted to add the card. Google will verify through your bank app. If you have downloaded the bank’s application on your mobile device, the verification will be carried out with approval in the notification you will receive in just a few seconds. Otherwise you will need to log in to your account (username-password) at the bank to approve this process.
- How does Google charge?
Google charges your advertising budget gradually. It starts with small amounts (e.g. €10) and gradually increases the limit (e.g. €50, €350, €500) as your reliability is proven. By adding the card, the first €10 will be credited to your account. Then it will follow the credit as we mentioned step by step. This particular method is the automated one.
- What is the preferred payment method?
Automated payment method is the best option. Google will automatically take money from your card when your advertising budget reaches the limit, ensuring a smooth flow of ads. The manual method requires you to be constantly vigilant to monitor your spend budget.
Accountant update:
Please inform your accountant of your Google Ads payments as you will receive intra-community invoices from Ireland. These invoices must be submitted by the 25th of each month.
Payment frequency:
Google clears your account on the 1st or 2nd of each month, charging you for the previous month’s ad spend.
In addition, Google can withdraw money at any time during the month if and when it reaches the limit of €500 or the limit you have set.
Also, Google for various uncertain factors may request that the credit balance be paid regardless of the stated reasons.
Tips:
- Use a debit card with sufficient balance.

- Notify your accountant.
- Submit intra-Community invoices by the 25th of each month.
