How do I stop Google Ads from charging my card automatically?

To stop Google Ads from charging your card automatically, you'll need to update your payment settings or cancel your account. Here's how you can do it:

Option 1: Update or Remove Your Payment Method
Sign in to Google Ads: Go to Google Ads and log in with your account.

Go to the Billing Section:

In the top right corner, click on the tools icon (a wrench).

Under Billing, select Billing Summary or Settings.

Manage Payment Methods:

In the Billing Summary or Settings page, look for the Payment Methods section.

You can either remove your payment method or update it (e.g., switching to a different card or method).

Disable Auto-Pay: If you're using an automatic payment system, you may want to adjust your settings to use manual payments instead.

Option 2: Pause or Cancel Campaigns
If you're still using Google Ads but want to stop charges, you can pause or cancel your campaigns:

Pause Campaigns:

Go to the Campaigns tab.

Select the campaigns you want to stop, and click Pause (this will stop ads from running and charges from accruing).

Cancel Ads Account:

To fully stop charges, you can also choose to cancel your Google Ads account.

Go to Tools > Account Settings > Cancel Account.

Option 3: Change to Manual Payments
If you want more control over your payments:

Go to your Billing & Payments page in Google Ads.

Choose the Manual Payments option. This way, you will need to make a payment before ads can run, and you avoid automatic charges.
