Managing payment methods in Facebook Business Manager is essential for running ads and maintaining financial control over your ad accounts. The process involves adding, editing, or removing payment options while ensuring proper permissions and account settings. Only ad account admins can modify payment methods, and Meta supports various payment types including credit/debit cards, PayPal, and direct debit. The system also allows for manual fund management through "available funds" accounts, where you can preload balances and set auto-reload thresholds.

Key findings from the sources:

• Admins must access Payment Settings in Ads Manager or Business Settings to manage payment methods ^[1][2][9]
• Payment methods can be added, edited, or removed with specific steps for each action ^[1][2][5]
• Business Manager supports adding another business's credit card with proper access permissions ^[5]
• Mobile users can manage payments through the Meta Ads Manager app with similar functionality ^[4]

Managing Facebook Business Manager Payment Methods

Adding and Configuring Payment Methods

The process of adding payment methods to Facebook Business Manager requires admin access and follows a structured workflow. Users can add payment methods at both the Business Manager level and individual ad account level, with different implications for each. The system accepts major credit/debit cards, PayPal accounts, and in some regions, direct debit options.

To add a payment method through Ads Manager:

• Navigate to Payment Settings in Ads Manager by clicking the menu icon and selecting "Billing & payments" ^[8]
• Click "Add Payment Method" and select your preferred option (credit card, PayPal, etc.)
• Enter the required details including card number, expiration date, and billing address
• Save the information and set as default if desired ^[2][9]

For Business Manager-level payment methods:

• Log into Business Manager and go to "Business Settings"
• Select "Payments" from the left menu
• Click "Add Payment Method" and complete the payment details form ^[9]
• Verify the payment method through any required authentication steps

Important considerations when adding payment methods:

• Only admins of the ad account can add or modify payment methods ^[1][2]
• Payment methods added at the Business Manager level can be shared across multiple ad accounts
• Some ad accounts use "available funds" payment settings where you manually add balance ^[6][10]
• Business credit cards require explicit access permission from the card owner ^[5]

The system also supports adding another business's credit card with these specific requirements:

• You must accept access to the credit card from the owner
• The card owner can revoke access at any time, which will stop your ads
• This method requires setting the card as default during the addition process ^[5]

Editing and Managing Existing Payment Methods

Existing payment methods can be edited, updated, or removed through the same Payment Settings interface. The process differs slightly depending on whether you're using the desktop version or mobile app, but maintains the same core functionality. Regular review of payment methods is recommended to ensure billing continuity and prevent ad interruptions.

To edit an existing payment method:

• Go to Payment Settings in Ads Manager
• Locate the payment method you want to edit in the "Payment methods" section
• Click "Options" next to the payment method and select "Edit"
• Make your changes to the payment details and save ^[1]

For removing payment methods:

• Access Payment Settings through Ads Manager or Business Settings
• Find the payment method you want to remove
• Click "Options" and select "Remove"
• Confirm the removal (note this cannot be undone) ^[1]

Mobile management follows a similar process:

• Open the Meta Ads Manager app
• Tap the Settings gear at the top left
• Select "Billing and payments"
• Use the "Payment methods" section to add, remove, or edit payment information ^[4]

Key management features include:

• Setting a default payment method that will be used for all new ad campaigns
• Viewing payment activity and transaction history through the Billing section
• Managing auto-reload settings for available funds accounts ^[6]
• Troubleshooting payment issues through the Help Center resources ^[2]

For available funds accounts specifically:

• You can manually add funds to your balance through the payment interface
• Auto-reload options can be configured to maintain a minimum balance
• Funds are deducted daily as ads run based on a 24-hour billing cycle
• The system provides notifications when funds are running low ^[6][10]
