Ad Manager payment guide

Validate your account information

1. Check your address
   Because Personal Identification Numbers (PINs) are sent to the mailing address in your account, please confirm the accuracy of your payment address and payee name. 
2. Provide your tax information (not required in all locations)
   Depending on your location, we may be required to collect tax-related information from you. If you're required to provide tax information:
   1. Sign in to Google Ad Manager.
   2. Click Payments, Payments info, and then Manage settings.
   3. Under "Payments profile," next to "country tax info," click Edit  and then Manage tax info.
   4. Click Add tax info or Update tax info.
      We'll guide you through the appropriate forms and requirements for your situation.
3. Select your payment method
   Depending on your payment address, there may be a number of payment options available to you. The easiest way to select your payment method is to click Payments, Payments info and then Add payment method or Manage payment methods.
4. Verify your address and phone number
   When your revenue reaches the address verification threshold, we'll mail a Personal Identification Number to the payment address in your account. You'll need to enter the PIN into your Ad Manager account before we can send any payments to you. Your PIN will be sent by standard post and will take 2-3 weeks to arrive. 
   
   Depending on your location, you may also be asked to verify your phone number. As part of this process, our system will call you at a pre-arranged time, and you'll be required to dial in a verification number that appears in your Ad Manager account.

Meet the payment threshold

5. Earn enough to meet the payment threshold
   When your current balance reaches the payment threshold, we'll send you a payment at the end of the next month. This threshold varies depending on the account currency. Let's say, for example, that the payment threshold for your account is US$100.
   
   In this case, if your current balance reached $100 during January and you completed the 4 steps above, we would send you a payment at the end of February. If your current balance hasn’t yet reached the payment threshold, your revenue will roll over to the next month and accrue until they meet the threshold. Payments are sent within approximately 30 days of the end of the month.
   
   See the timeline of our payment cycle in Payment Timelines.

Track revenue

When you click Payments Payments info, you'll see the following information:

• A summary of your estimated revenue.
• A link to View transactions. This page tracks the status of previously issued payments and displays monthly account calculations. You can see revenue credited to your account as well as any adjustments made as separate line items on this page. When you click one of the date range links, you can see the payment details and the exchange rate used to calculate your local currency payment, if applicable. 

For more details, you can track your estimated Ad Manager revenue on your account's Overview page.
