When setting up your payment information for Google Ads, there are 2 things to keep in mind: Your payment setting and your payment method. Your payment method is how you pay, and your payment setting is when you pay.
In general, your country and currency determine the payment methods and payment settings that are available for your account. But there may be cases when a payment method or setting that’s normally available for your country or currency becomes temporarily unavailable for your account.
Payment setting: when 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.
The manual payments setting isn't available for new accounts in the countries and territories listed below. If you can't find this option when creating your account, you’ll need to proceed with the automatic payments option to finish creating your account. Your account can't be switched to manual payments in these countries and territories.

Your VAT information
Value Added Tax (VAT) is a 5% tax on goods and services that is paid to the Taiwanese tax authority. Google will issue you a GUI (Government Uniform Invoice) each time you make a payment if you're on the manual payments setting, or each time you receive a monthly invoice with a taxable amount due if you have a credit line. The exception is that if your payment method is credit card (on either automatic or manual payment settings), you won't be charged VAT, and Google will not issue you a GUI.

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.
The manual payments setting isn't available for new accounts in the countries and territories listed below. If you can't find this option when creating your account, you’ll need to proceed with the automatic payments option to finish creating your account. Your account can't be switched to manual payments in these countries and territories.

You pay for these costs with a check or bank transfer. It is required that you make payments within the timeframe that you've agreed to with Google, according to terms and conditions.
