Billing hiccups can pause delivery. Here’s how Meta ads billing works, why payments fail, and what to do about double charges and thresholds.
How Meta ads billing works
- Threshold billing: You’re charged when you hit a threshold or monthly on the bill date.
- Payment methods: Cards, some local methods, ad credits, or monthly invoicing where available.
- Receipts & VAT/GST: Add legal details to invoices and download statements.
Fix failed payments & holds
- Retry the primary card; ensure funds and 3‑D Secure if required.
- Add a second method and set it as primary; remove expired cards.
- Lower spending until charges succeed; wait for hold lifts.
- Contact your bank for declined reasons (fraud, limits, currency).
Spending limits & thresholds
- Set an account spending limit to cap total spend.
- Thresholds can increase over time with successful payments.
- Large spenders may apply for monthly invoicing after review.
FAQs
Why was I charged twice?
Passing a threshold and the bill date can both trigger charges. Check the date/time and receipts; duplicates are rare and usually reconcile.
Can I change currency?
Currency is tied to the ad account. Changing often requires creating a new ad account with the desired currency.
How do I get an invoice with my tax ID?
Add your business details in payment settings; invoices/receipts will include them going forward.
