How do I switch my Pinterest Ads payment method from a VCC to a traditional card?

SeoGuru

Switching your Pinterest Ads payment method from a VCC to a traditional card is pretty straightforward. Here's a step-by-step guide:

🔁 How to change your payment method on Pinterest Ads:
Log into your Pinterest Business account

Go to ads.pinterest.com and make sure you're in the right ad account.

Click on the ⚙️ gear icon (top-right)

Choose "Billing" from the dropdown menu.

Go to the "Payment Settings" tab

Click "Add payment method"

Enter the traditional card details (Visa, MasterCard, Amex, etc.)

Make sure the billing address matches your card info.

Set the new card as your Primary Payment Method

Once it's saved, click the "Make primary" option next to the new card.

(Optional) Remove the VCC

After your new card is set as primary and active, you can click "Remove" next to the VCC.

🔒 Pro Tips:
💳 Make sure your traditional card is enabled for online & international transactions.

🕓 It's smart to wait until your current billing cycle ends to avoid mid-cycle charges overlapping between the VCC and new card.

📬 Keep an eye on your email or billing dashboard for any issues after switching — Pinterest notifies you if a charge fails.
