Can I prepay for Facebook Ads campaigns?

Yes! Facebook Ads allows prepayments in some countries using the manual payment method. This means you can add funds in advance and Facebook will deduct ad costs from your prepaid balance instead of automatically charging your card.

1. Check If Prepaid Payments Are Available in Your Country
✔ Prepaid (manual) payments are not available worldwide.
✔ To check if you can prepay for Facebook Ads:

🔹 Go to Facebook Payment Methods
🔹 Look for manual payments/prepaid balance availability in your country.

📌 If prepaid payments are not available, use a Virtual Credit Card (VCC) from https://exocards.com for controlled spending.

2. How to Prepay for Facebook Ads
✔ If manual payments are available, follow these steps to add funds in advance:

🔹 Go to Facebook Ads Manager
🔹 Click Billing → Payment Settings → Add Funds
🔹 Choose your preferred payment method (Credit/Debit Card, Bank Transfer, PayPal, or VCC)
🔹 Enter the amount you want to prepay
🔹 Click Confirm Payment

📌 Your ads will run until the balance runs out, after which Facebook will pause them.

3. Benefits of Prepaying for Facebook Ads
✅ No surprise charges – Facebook only spends the amount you add.
✅ Full control over your ad budget – You decide how much to add.
✅ Avoid failed payments or card declines – Since you're using prepaid funds, there are no unexpected transactions.
✅ Better for businesses with strict budgets – Helps manage cash flow efficiently.

📌 Using a VCC from https://exocards.com allows you to set a fixed budget and avoid overcharges.

4. How to Check Your Prepaid Balance
✔ To see how much balance you have left:

🔹 Go to Facebook Ads Manager
🔹 Click Billing → Transactions
🔹 Check your remaining prepaid balance

📌 If your balance is low, you must add more funds to keep your ads running.

5. Alternative: Set a Lifetime Budget for Campaigns
✔ If prepaid payments are not available in your country, use Lifetime Budgets:

🔹 Go to Facebook Ads Manager
🔹 Create a New Campaign
🔹 Click Budget & Schedule
🔹 Select Lifetime Budget instead of Daily Budget
🔹 Enter your total budget for the campaign

📌 This ensures Facebook doesn't spend beyond your set amount.

6. Prevent Issues When Prepaying
✔ Always double-check your transaction after adding funds.
✔ If payment doesn't reflect, contact Facebook Support at Facebook Business Help.
✔ Use a VCC from https://exocards.com to securely add prepaid funds.

Final Answer:
📌 Yes, you can prepay for Facebook Ads if your country supports manual payments. To do so, add funds in Ads Manager under Billing Settings. If prepaid payments aren't available, use a Lifetime Budget or a VCC from https://exocards.com for budget control.
