Short answer
Create a billing profile with your business name, invoice email and full billing address, then add a credit card. Use the same country and legal entity as the ad account. Campaigns won't deliver until billing is complete.
Steps
- Open Billing in Ads Manager
- Create a billing profile: business name, invoice delivery email, billing address with state or region and postal code
- Add a credit card and its billing address
- Add your VAT or tax ID under Billing > Settings if your country supports it
- Check that the account shows no billing warning
Things that trip people up
- A card from a different country may be declined
- Adding a card can create a temporary authorisation hold, which may stay visible for 8 days or more
- A tax ID added later applies only to future invoices
- Billing country, currency and legal entity generally can't be edited self-serve
