How do I add a VCC as a primary payment method in Facebook Ads Manager?

How to Add a VCC as a Primary Payment Method in Facebook Ads Manager
To ensure Facebook charges your Virtual Credit Card (VCC) first, you must set it as the primary payment method. Follow these steps to add and prioritize your VCC in Facebook Ads.

🔹 Step 1: Add Your VCC to Facebook Ads Payment Settings
1️⃣ Go to Facebook Ads Payment Settings:
👉 https://business.facebook.com/settings/payment-methods
2️⃣ Click "Add Payment Method."
3️⃣ Choose Credit or Debit Card.
4️⃣ Enter your VCC details (card number, expiration date, CVV, billing address).
5️⃣ Click Save.

📌 If Facebook rejects your VCC, try using a provider like ExoCards that supports Facebook Ads.

🔹 Step 2: Set the VCC as the Primary Payment Method
1️⃣ Go back to Payment Methods in Facebook Ads Manager.
2️⃣ Find the VCC you just added.
3️⃣ Click "Set as Primary" next to the VCC.
4️⃣ Facebook will now charge this VCC before any other payment method.

📌 If the "Set as Primary" button is disabled, you may need to add a backup payment method first.

🔹 Step 3: Remove or Prioritize Over Other Payment Methods (Optional)
If you already have another primary payment method (e.g., a different card or PayPal), Facebook might not let you change it immediately.

✅ Fix:
1️⃣ Click "Remove" on the old payment method (if possible).
2️⃣ If removal is blocked, set your VCC as the primary payment method first, then delete the old one.
3️⃣ If Facebook still won't allow it, contact Facebook Ads Support (https://www.facebook.com/help/contact/649167531904667) for manual assistance.

📌 If your account has an outstanding balance, you must pay it before switching payment methods.

🔹 Step 4: Confirm Your VCC Works with a Small Test Payment
📌 To make sure Facebook charges your VCC successfully:

✅ Steps to Test a Small Charge:
1️⃣ Go to Billing → Add Funds.
2️⃣ Choose your VCC as the payment method.
3️⃣ Add a small amount ($1–$5) to check if Facebook processes the payment.
4️⃣ If successful, Facebook will now use your VCC as the primary payment method.

📌 If the test charge fails, check with your VCC provider or switch to a different VCC.
