Manage Ads account billing setup from your manager account

A billing setup contains information about how you pay and your document delivery addresses, which is used to generate and deliver monthly invoices. This article shows you how to create and manage billing setups for your Google Ads client accounts.

Note that you can use the same billing setup for multiple Google Ads client accounts and receive one consolidated invoice per month. Learn more about consolidated billing.
