Payment methods and billing hygiene

Billing is where clean accounts get flagged for entirely avoidable reasons. Payment methods are one of the strongest linking signals platforms have.

Never reuse a card across accounts

A card that touched a banned account carries that history to every account it is added to next. Use a separate card per ad account — virtual cards from a business banking provider make this cheap and simple.

Match the billing country

Card country, business address and account region should agree. Mixed signals here are a common cause of verification requests on otherwise healthy accounts.

Add billing calmly

Add one payment method, in a later session than the first login, and let a small charge settle before scaling. Adding and removing several cards in quick succession looks like card testing.

When a payment fails

Fix the card, do not add three more. Repeated declines suspend the account faster than most policy issues, and the recovery is slower than it should be.

Your invoices and delivery details are always available in your dashboard under Invoices.
