4 actual ways to link a card on Facebook*
Linking a card to pay for Facebook ads* can be a complicated process due to frequent changes on the platform and new rules. This makes it a real challenge to find effective solutions. In this article, we'll go into detail about the current ways to link a card to Facebook* and provide step-by-step instructions for each method.
Why it's not easy to link a card
Facebook* complicates the card linking process for several reasons:
Increased safety
Facebook* regularly faces fraud attempts and theft of funds through illegal payments. To protect itself and its users, the platform implements strict security measures, including payment data checks and verification of accounts against real users. While these measures improve security, they can make the card linking process more difficult, especially given the constant changes in the platform's algorithms.
Changes in algorithms Facebook* is constantly tweaking its algorithms in an effort to improve the platform and combat illegal activity. These changes often complicate the card linking process, making it less predictable for users. As a result, there are sometimes errors or failure to link a card, even for no apparent reason.
“Storms.” Facebook* sometimes imposes temporary restrictions on linking cards to accounts during technical issues or changes in platform policy. This can be inconvenient for users as they are unable to make payments. In such situations, the best option is to wait until the wave of blockages and issues has passed and access to payment features is restored.
The most relevant ways to link a card on Facebook*
Today, there are several reliable ways to bind a card that help avoid problems and failures. In this article, we won't cover complex and time-consuming methods such as linking a card through a mobile app, “donation” or autoload, which not everyone uses. Instead, we'll focus on four simple and convenient card linking methods that are easy to implement.
Method No. 1: Binding the card through the advertising cabinet
Go to the link: here. Click “Add payment method”
And enter our card details. Then we see the binding. And without any holds.
Method No. 2: Card linking via FanPage
Go to your Facebook fan page*, look for a post for the boost, and enter your card details when adding a payment method.
Click “Next” and knit the card:
Once again, the card linked without any problems.
Method #3. Card binding via FBAcc
To bind a card in the Facebook* Ads cabinet use the extension “https://fbacc.io”, go to the cab, activate the extension, and enter the card details by selecting “Set up payment method”.
Method #4. Card linking via Business Manager Go to Business Manager, “All Accounts” section, select the desired account and wait for the “View payment” button in the upper right corner.
Then we will be redirected to the billing section, where we link the card according to the old scheme.
The above methods are some of the fastest and most convenient for linking a card. If you encounter a problem like “failed to debit” or similar notifications, don't worry - go to the post boost section and add a new card on top of the old one. In about 5 minutes the notification will disappear.
What factors affect card linking on Facebook*
To avoid problems when linking your card, it is important to know what can affect the process. It is recommended to familiarize yourself with the main factors that can cause difficulties, such as “Risk Payment”.
Proxy
Using a common proxy server shared by multiple people can make Facebook* suspicious. When the platform detects that multiple accounts are accessing the network through the same proxy, it may suspect a connection between these accounts or even consider them fake. This can lead to a “tag” on the account and, as a result, difficulties with card linking and other transactions.
To avoid problems with card binding and other operations, use high-quality and reliable proxy servers. Preferably, proxies should be unique for each user and should not be used by several people at the same time. This will help avoid suspicion from Facebook* and protect your account from unwanted attention.
A quality Facebook account* is more than just a collection of data. It should be active and realistic, with real photos, likes and comments so that the platform sees it as a real profile.
Why do low-quality accounts often encounter problems with card linking?
1. Suspicion of fraud: Facebook* may suspect such accounts of acting in bad faith, which increases the risk of blocking.
2. Security restrictions: The platform may place restrictions on accounts it deems insecure, including a ban on payments.
When choosing accounts, don't just focus on price. It is important to make sure they are of good quality and reliable to avoid problems in the future.
Tip: take accounts from 2 weeks of farming, the chance of binding a card on them is much higher than on very fresh accounts.
Matching geo account and geo map When running ads on Facebook*, it is important to make sure that the country specified in the ad campaign settings coincides with the location of the bank account. The platform checks the region of card issuance and compares it with the information in your profile. If a mismatch is detected, for example, you target ads to the US but use a card from Ukraine, Facebook* may suspect fraud and block the account.
Facebook* strictly enforces the rules and tries to prevent illegal activities such as fraudulent advertising. Therefore, when working with this platform, it is important to make sure that all data is correct.
However, the most common problems with map linking and geolocation mismatches occur during so-called Facebook* storms. In calmer periods, the platform may be less strict about such discrepancies.
Conclusion
Linking your card to Facebook* can be a challenge, but understanding the key factors and taking the right steps can help increase your chances of success. Keep in mind that Facebook* is constantly updating its algorithms, so card linking methods may change.
The most effective way to stay on top of changes is to follow forums and chat rooms dedicated to arbitrage and marketing. They often discuss mass problems with card binding, share new methods and useful experience. Thus, before you start testing different methods of card binding, it is recommended to study these resources to not only learn the latest information, but also to save time and money on consumables and card issuance.
