It is imperative for the success of your online business to properly manage your digital advertising expenses, and Google AdWords is unquestionably one of the most efficient platforms for reaching your desired audience. It becomes even more advantageous when you have the option to pay with your preferred method. In this article, we will guide you on how to make payments for your Google AdWords using PayPal.
Please note: Google AdWords, as of writing this post, does not directly support PayPal as a payment method in all countries. However, there’s a workaround that we’re going to explore using a service called ‘PayPal Key’. It’s a virtual card that you can use for online payments where Mastercard is accepted, which includes Google AdWords.
Setting Up PayPal Key
- Firstly, Sign in to your PayPal account.
- On the Summary page, navigate to “PayPal Key”.
- Click on “Create Your Key” and follow the prompts to complete the process.
This process will generate a virtual Mastercard number for you, which you will be using to make payments on Google AdWords.
Adding PayPal Key to Google AdWords
- Login to your Google Ads account.
- Click on the tool icon on the top right corner.
- Choose Billing & Payments from the drop-down menu.
- Click on Payment methods from the left-side menu.
- Click on + Add new payment method.
- Select Add new Credit or debit card.
- Enter your PayPal Key details, i.e., the card number, expiry date, and security code.
- Click on Submit.
Congratulations! You can now use your PayPal account to pay for Google Ads by using your PayPal Key. Just remember to keep sufficient funds in your PayPal account to cover your ad costs.
