Facebook charges you based on your ad spend, which accumulates as your ads run and achieve results. Facebook uses billing thresholds to charge your payment method when your ad costs reach a certain amount. This threshold starts low and increases as you successfully pay your bills.
When Facebook is unable to process payment for your ads:
Ads Paused and Account Disabled: Your ads will be paused, and your ad account may be disabled until the outstanding amount is paid.
No Additional Charges: Facebook will not continue to accrue charges on your ad account until the outstanding balance is settled.
Resuming Ads: Once you make the payment, Facebook will resume any active or scheduled ads. They will attempt to make up for lost time to meet your original campaign dates and budgets.
To prevent payment problems with Facebook ads, consider the following tips:
Maintain Sufficient Funds: Ensure there are enough funds available on your payment method, especially around your monthly billing date.
Manage Payment Thresholds: Adjust your billing thresholds to align with your credit card limit or payment capabilities.
Backup Payment Method: Add a backup payment method to your ad account to ensure continuous ad delivery in case of payment failure.
Check Card Expiry Dates: Regularly check and update the expiry dates on your credit or debit cards to avoid declined transactions.
Communication with Your Bank: Inform your bank or credit card issuer about the charges from Facebook to prevent them from flagging these transactions as fraudulent.
