Payment setting: how you pay

This is how you make your payments. Your choices are:

• Automatic payments: You're automatically charged after your ads run, either on the first day of each month or when you reach a preset amount (known as your threshold), whichever comes first. You can also make payments at any time to control your costs. Note: Google no longer accepts prepaid cards for automatic payments.
• Manual payments: Pay when you want for future costs. With this setting, you make a payment before your ads run. Then, as your ads run and you accrue costs, the credit from your payment will decrease. When your payment is used up, your ads will stop running.

  You may be able to switch the payment setting for your account between Automatic to Manual payments, and vice versa, in your account’s Billing Settings. The option to switch from Automatic to Manual payments is possible only in countries where the Manual payment option is available. If you're currently on Manual payments and this option is no longer available in your country, you can only switch to Automatic payments and you won't be able to switch back to Manual payments.
