With a One-click Feature, Google Ads Makes Switching to Monthly Billing Easier

Google Ads is making a big change to its payment system by adding a simpler "Switch to monthly invoicing" option. This one-click option is for advertisers who need to change their billing choices because Google recently told advertisers with large budgets they need to stop using credit or debit cards to pay.

The new feature is part of a bigger change that Google is making to how payments work. Advertisers who are affected had to switch to bank-based choices by July 31, 2024, or risk having their accounts closed. Credit and debit cards will no longer be accepted for some Google accounts, which is likely what caused this change.

Google will keep sending warnings until 2024, stressing how important it is to act quickly.

Some important things about the new feature are:

  • A clear view of the deadlines in the account page
  • A streamlined transfer process that starts with emails
  • A targeted rollout for marketers who will be affected

Google talks about the benefits, like having more freedom and control. But some people in the business are worried that advertisers might have trouble with their cash flow.

This one-click function seems to be Google’s attempt to make the switch easier for accounts that will be affected. Advertisers should keep an eye out for alerts and move quickly to make sure their campaigns don’t get interrupted.
