How do I check my Facebook Ads spending history when using a VCC?

To check your Facebook Ads spending history when using a Virtual Credit Card (VCC), you can access detailed billing information and transaction records through Facebook Ads Manager. Here's how you can view your spending history and keep track of your payments:

Steps to Check Your Facebook Ads Spending History:
1. Log Into Facebook Ads Manager:
Go to Facebook Ads Manager by visiting Facebook Ads Manager.

Log in using your Facebook account that is associated with the ads account where you're running campaigns.

2. Navigate to Billing Section:
In Ads Manager, click on the three horizontal lines (hamburger menu) in the upper-left corner to open the main menu.

Under "Manage Ads", find and click on "Billing". This will take you to your Payment Settings and transaction history.

3. Access Your Transaction History:
In the Billing section, you'll find an option called "Transaction History" or "Billing History".

This section shows a detailed breakdown of all your past payments and charges related to Facebook Ads.

4. Filter Your Spending History:
You can filter the spending history by date range (e.g., last 30 days, last month, custom date range) to get a clearer view of your VCC transactions.

You can also sort by payment status (e.g., successful, failed, pending) to track any issues or failed payments with your VCC.

5. View Payment Details:
For each transaction listed in your spending history, you can click to view the details. This will show the following:

The amount charged.

The payment method used (your VCC will be listed here).

The status of the payment (e.g., paid, failed).

Invoice or receipt for the transaction, which you can download for records.

6. Check Payment Method Details:
You can also check which payment methods have been used for each transaction by going to the "Payment Settings" section in the Billing menu.

This helps confirm that your VCC is the one being used for specific charges.

7. Download Detailed Billing Statements:
If you need a full breakdown of your spending history, you can usually download a CSV file of your transactions.

Look for the Download option in the Transaction History section to get an exportable file of your payment records.

8. Set Up Billing Notifications:
To stay on top of your spending, you can set up email notifications for payment activities such as successful payments, failed payments, or upcoming charges. This helps you track your VCC charges in real-time.

What to Look for in Your VCC Transactions:
Transaction Amounts: Ensure that the amounts match your campaign budgets.

Payment Status: Check for failed or pending payments, which could indicate issues with your VCC or account.

Frequency: If your VCC is being charged automatically, verify the dates and amounts to ensure everything is as expected.

Additional Tips for Monitoring VCC Payments:
Monitor for Unexpected Charges: If you're unsure of the charges, cross-check the spending history with the campaigns that were active during the time of the charges.

Identify Campaigns with High Spend: Look for any unusual spikes in your spending history to see if any campaign went over budget or continued running beyond the intended timeframe.

Check for Refunds or Adjustments: If you've received refunds or adjustments for campaigns, these will also appear in the transaction history.

Conclusion:
By following the steps above, you can easily check your Facebook Ads spending history when using a VCC. This will give you insights into all your charges, including the amounts billed to your VCC, payment statuses, and any potential issues.
