Can I set up a secondary payment method in case my VCC fails on Facebook Ads?

Yes, you can set up a secondary payment method on Facebook Ads to prevent your ads from stopping if your VCC fails. This ensures that your campaigns keep running smoothly even if your primary VCC is declined.
🔹 How to Add a Backup Payment Method in Facebook Ads
1️⃣ Go to Facebook Ads Payment Settings:
👉 https://business.facebook.com/settings/payment-methods

2️⃣ Click "Add Payment Method".

3️⃣ Choose a secondary payment method, such as:

Another VCC from a different provider (e.g., ExoCards).
A real credit or debit card.
PayPal (if available in your country).
4️⃣ Enter the payment details and click Save.

5️⃣ Set it as a backup method (Facebook automatically charges it if the primary VCC fails).

📌 Note: Facebook will always try to charge the primary payment method first. If it fails, it will automatically use the backup method.

🔹 Why Use a Backup Payment Method?
✅ Prevents Ads from Stopping – Avoid interruptions if your VCC runs out of funds.
✅ Reduces Risk of Account Flagging – Failed payments can trigger security reviews.
✅ Supports Higher Spending Limits – Facebook Ads allows spending across multiple payment methods.

🔹 Best Secondary Payment Options
Backup Payment Option   Best For   Availability
Another VCC (from a different provider)   Best for ad accounts that rely on VCCs   Available worldwide
Real Credit/Debit Card   High-trust, long-term stability   Global
PayPal   Easy to link, works as a fail-safe   Supported in most countries
📌 Recommended: Use a backup VCC from a trusted provider like ExoCards to prevent failed transactions.

🔹 How to Set a Specific Payment Method as Primary or Backup
1️⃣ Go to Payment Settings → Click Manage Payment Methods.
2️⃣ Set your main VCC as "Primary".
3️⃣ Choose the backup payment method and leave it as secondary.

📌 Facebook will only charge the backup method if the primary fails.

🚀 Final Fixes Checklist
✔ Add a secondary payment method to avoid ad disruptions.
✔ Use a trusted VCC provider like ExoCards for a reliable backup.
✔ Set the correct payment priority (Primary & Backup).
✔ Keep enough funds in both payment methods to prevent failures.
