Can I change my payment method after running an ad campaign?

Yes, you can change your payment method even after running an ad campaign, but there are a few things to consider.

1. How to Change Your Payment Method in Facebook Ads
✔ If you want to update or switch your payment method after launching a campaign:

🔹 Go to Facebook Ads Manager
🔹 Click Billing → Payment Settings
🔹 Click Add Payment Method
🔹 Enter the details of your new credit card, PayPal, or Virtual Credit Card (VCC) from https://exocards.com
🔹 Click Save Changes

📌 Your new payment method will be used for future charges, but any outstanding balance may still be charged to the old method.

2. Set the New Payment Method as Primary
✔ If you want Facebook to charge your new payment method first, make it primary:

🔹 Go to Payment Settings
🔹 Click Make Primary next to the new payment method

📌 Facebook will now charge the primary method first for any future ad spend.

3. Can I Remove My Old Payment Method?
✔ You can remove your old payment method only if there is no outstanding balance.

🔹 Go to Payment Settings
🔹 Click Remove next to the old payment method

🚨 If Facebook does not allow you to remove the old payment method, pay any outstanding balance first.

4. What Happens to Active Ad Campaigns After Changing Payment Method?
✔ Your ads will continue running normally unless your new payment method fails or gets declined.
✔ If the old payment method had an outstanding charge, Facebook may still attempt to charge it before switching to the new one.

📌 To avoid issues, ensure your new payment method has enough funds.

5. Use a Virtual Credit Card (VCC) for More Control
✔ If you want better spending control and prevent Facebook from charging an old card, use a VCC from https://exocards.com.
✔ A VCC allows you to set a specific budget, ensuring that Facebook only charges what you allow.

✔ If you cannot change your payment method, contact Facebook Ads Support:

🔹 Visit Facebook Business Help Center
🔹 Click Billing & Payments → Payment Issues
🔹 Explain the issue and attach screenshots if needed

📌 Facebook may take 24-48 hours to process payment updates.

Final Answer:
📌 Yes, you can change your payment method after running an ad campaign in Facebook Ads Manager. Just add a new payment method, set it as primary, and remove the old one if needed. To prevent overcharges, use a VCC from https://exocards.com for safer transactions.
