Payment guide
Ad billing is riskier than a one-time checkout because failed authorization can pause campaigns or create duplicate attempts. Check ad account country, payment profile, card verification and spend limit before using the card.
Keep the Google invoice, payment profile screenshot, RedotPay transaction screen and decline message together so campaign billing does not become a support mess.
Payment guide
Google Ads payment issues often depend on payment profile country, advertiser verification, billing threshold, spend limit and whether the card is accepted for ad billing. That is different from a normal online checkout.
Before running a campaign, test with low daily spend and save the payment profile, invoice, decline message and card transaction state. Do not scale ad spend until billing is stable.
