Update your payment methods and settings

Within the “Billing” section of your account, you can view and update your card information and payer details.

Switch between postpay and prepay payments settings

Different payment settings are available depending on your billing country. If both postpay and prepay payment settings are available for your account, you can switch your payment setting directly in your Google Ads. In some cases, switching payment settings might require creating a new payment profile. Learn how to create and manage your payments profile.

Postpay: Your automatic payment will happen on the first day of each month, and whenever your account reaches a payment threshold.
Prepay: You'll need to manually make prepayments before your ads can run.
