How do I set a recurring payment schedule for Facebook Ads?

Facebook Ads does not have a direct option for setting a recurring payment schedule, but it automatically charges you based on your billing threshold. You can control when and how often Facebook charges you using these methods:

1. Understand Facebook's Automatic Billing System
✔ Facebook charges you when you reach your billing threshold OR at the end of your billing cycle.
✔ You cannot manually set a fixed payment schedule, but you can control payments by adjusting the billing threshold.

📌 Example: If your billing threshold is $100, Facebook will charge you every time your ad spend reaches $100.

🔹 To check your billing threshold:
🔹 Go to https://www.facebook.com/adsmanager
🔹 Click Billing → Payment Settings → View Billing Threshold

2. Adjust Your Billing Threshold to Control Payment Frequency
✔ Increasing or decreasing the billing threshold lets you control how often payments are made.

🔹 Go to https://www.facebook.com/adsmanager
🔹 Click Billing → Payment Settings
🔹 Find Billing Threshold
🔹 Click Edit and set your preferred threshold amount

📌 Lowering your threshold makes payments happen more frequently, while increasing it delays payments until a higher amount is reached.

3. Use Facebook's Prepaid Manual Payment Option (If Available in Your Country)
✔ In some regions, Facebook allows manual (prepaid) payments, meaning you can add funds upfront and let Facebook deduct from the balance.

🔹 Go to https://www.facebook.com/adsmanager
🔹 Click Billing → Add Funds
🔹 Choose your preferred amount
🔹 Select a payment method (Credit Card, PayPal, or VCC from https://exocards.com)
🔹 Click Confirm Payment

📌 This works like a recurring payment system because you can top up your balance at fixed intervals.

4. Use a Virtual Credit Card (VCC) for Auto-Payments on a Budget
✔ A VCC from https://exocards.com lets you load a specific amount to control how much Facebook deducts.
✔ Once the balance reaches $0, Facebook cannot overcharge you, acting as a hard limit on spending.

📌 This is a great way to simulate a recurring payment schedule by preloading a fixed amount every month.

5. Set a Lifetime Budget for Individual Campaigns
✔ If you want better control over recurring payments, use the Lifetime Budget option:

🔹 Go to https://www.facebook.com/adsmanager
🔹 Click Create New Campaign
🔹 Go to Budget & Schedule
🔹 Choose Lifetime Budget instead of Daily Budget
🔹 Enter the total budget for the entire campaign

📌 This ensures Facebook doesn't charge beyond your set budget, acting as a fixed payment plan.

6. Monitor Your Payments & Spending Regularly
✔ Go to https://www.facebook.com/adsmanager → Billing to track payment history.
✔ Set up Billing Notifications in Payment Settings to get alerts when payments are made.

Final Answer:
📌 You cannot set a fixed recurring payment schedule for Facebook Ads, but you can:
✔ Adjust your billing threshold to control payment frequency.
✔ Use manual payments (if available) to top up funds at set intervals.
✔ Use a VCC from https://exocards.com to preload a specific amount and prevent overspending.
✔ Set a Lifetime Budget for campaigns to control spending.

For better control, use a Facebook Ads VCC from https://exocards.com and adjust your billing threshold in Ads Manager.
