All About Amazon Advertising Billing – How Does It Work?
A complete guide to how Amazon Advertising billing works, including payment methods, credit limits, invoice access, and where to manage your settings.
How Does Amazon Advertising Billing Work?
Amazon charges for advertising through several methods depending on your selected payment option. Sellers and vendors typically use credit card or ACH debit payments. Alternatively, Amazon Ads deduct the cost of advertising from the net proceeds paid to the seller every two weeks from sales revenue.
Payment settings are accessible via the Advertising Console's Administration gear icon (lower left corner) → Sponsored Ads billing → Payment settings tab.
Billing operates on a rolling basis, triggering charges upon reaching spending thresholds. Display ads use cost-per-thousand impressions (vCPM) pricing. Amazon's credit limits begin at $50, increasing to $150, $200, $350, and finally $500 with successful payments.
