Note: Smart Campaigns can only be created in Smart Mode. New and existing advertisers not in Smart Mode are eligible for a variety of other campaigns.
There are 2 ways to pause a campaign: indefinitely or temporarily.
- Choose “Temporarily” to schedule your campaign to automatically resume after a scheduled pause period. This can be useful for seasonal businesses.
- Choose “Forever, or until I resume” to pause your campaign indefinitely. Manually resume it at any time.
While paused, your campaign won't accrue charges, but you may still receive a bill for charges accrued while your campaign was running.
Before you begin
