Updating your payment method for Facebook Ads is an easy and uncomplicated task that can be completed with a few basic steps. Having personally navigated this process, I recognize the significance of maintaining a current payment method for your Facebook advertising endeavors. In this article, I aim to walk you through how to update your credit card information for Facebook Ads, drawing on my own experiences and offering step-by-step guidance throughout.
Step 1: Accessing the Facebook Ads Manager
To begin, log in to your Facebook account and navigate to the Ads Manager. You can do this by clicking on the small arrow in the top-right corner of the Facebook homepage and selecting “Manage Ads” from the dropdown menu. This will take you directly to the Ads Manager dashboard.
Step 2: Navigating to the Billing Section
Once you are in the Ads Manager, look for the menu on the left-hand side of the screen. Scroll down until you find the “Billing” option and click on it. This will take you to the Billing summary page.
Step 3: Adding a New Payment Method
On the Billing summary page, you will see the “Payment Methods” section. Here, you can view your existing payment method. To add a new credit card, click on the “Add Payment Method” button. A modal window will appear, allowing you to enter your new credit card details.
Fill in the required information, including the cardholder’s name, credit card number, expiration date, and CVV. Double-check that all the details are accurate to avoid any issues with future transactions. Once you have entered all the necessary information, click the “Save” button to add the new payment method to your Facebook Ads account.
Step 4: Selecting the New Payment Method
After adding the new credit card, you will be redirected back to the Billing summary page. Scroll down to the “Payment Methods” section, where you will see both your old and new payment methods listed. To make the new credit card your primary payment method, click on the “Set as Primary” button next to it.
Facebook will prompt you to confirm your selection. Click “Confirm” to set the new credit card as your primary payment method. This means that all future advertising charges will be automatically billed to this card.
Step 5: Updating Existing Campaigns
Now that you have changed your credit card for Facebook Ads, it’s important to ensure that all your existing campaigns are updated to use the new payment method. To do this, go back to the Ads Manager dashboard and navigate to the “Campaigns” section.
Click on each campaign individually and review its settings. In the “Billing” tab, you should see your new credit card listed as the payment method. If it is not selected, click on the “Edit” button and choose the new credit card from the dropdown menu. Save your changes to update the campaign with the new payment method.

Changing the credit card for Facebook Ads is a simple yet essential task for any advertiser.
