Available TikTok billing options

Last updated: December 2024

The following billing options are currently available on TikTok Ads Manager and the Business Center.

Manual Payment

  • You will make a 100% advance deposit into the bank account designated by TikTok before you can run your ads. You will receive a prepay invoice for the payment you made to the designated bank account.

  • Payment may be made via bank transfer, credit card, or other payment methods accepted by TikTok from time to time.

  • Ad delivery requires maintaining a sufficient balance to fund your specific ad campaign before and throughout the ad campaign period. TikTok will not deliver any ads in excess of your balance and reserve the right to cease any ongoing ad campaign or reject any new ad campaign if your balance is insufficient.

  • Any remaining balance to the advance payment made by you after each campaign will be carried forward and available for deduction for the amount of fees due and payable for the next campaign. The remaining balance can also be used to pay your autopay or monthly invoicing bills.


Automatic Payment

  • The payment methods you have on file in your Commercial Account will be automatically charged when your ad Buying Transactions reach the TikTok designated billing date or billing threshold amount, whichever comes first.

  • Payments may be made via credit card, debit card, or any other payment method accepted by TikTok from time to time.

  • TikTok will notify you of the applicable billing date and of the billing threshold amount on the applicable Transaction page. This may result in multiple charges to your payment methods.

  • If a payment attempt using your payment method fails more than twice, TikTok has the right to cease any ongoing ad campaign or reject any new ad campaign until TikTok receives payment.

  • In TikTok Ads Manager navigate to Tools and click Payment and view the Summary tab on the left side menu to review the amount spent under Spend so far.


Monthly Invoicing

  • Monthly Invoicing is a billing option that's available to eligible businesses. If your business is eligible for monthly invoicing, you will receive an invoice for the ad buying transactions on a monthly basis or after the order ends, due 30 days from the invoice date unless otherwise agreed between you and TikTok.

  • TikTok may extend a line of credit to you or post funds in your account, each subject to a billing threshold amount determined by TikTok's sole discretion.

  • Payments may be made via bank transfer, credit card, or any other payment method accepted by TikTok from time to time to the bank account listed on the invoice.

  • You remain liable and will be responsible for paying TikTok for all advertising spend made by the receiving business regardless of the bill-to party you designated in your Commercial Account.

  • All payments shall be made in the currency as defined in your contract or each applicable IO or as agreed in writing between you and TikTok.

  • Notwithstanding any term to the contrary, TikTok shall not be obliged to invoice you within a specified timeframe and a failure to invoice shall not excuse or waive TikTok's right to collect, and your obligation to pay.

  • Any dispute with respect to a billed or invoiced amount must be notified to TikTok within 7 days after you receive the relevant billing or invoicing.

  • In TikTok Ads Manager navigate to Tools and click Payment and view the Summary tab on the left side menu to review the available credit balance to determine the remaining amount that you can use before the next invoice is generated.

    • If you have applied for a payment portfolio, the total credit line, remaining credit balance and credit line usage can be found in the payment portfolio.

    • If you have not upgraded to a payment portfolio, then the remaining credit balance can be found on the payment management page.
