Payment method and procedure (domestic wire transfer/credit card)

To start using Search Ads and YDN, you need to deposit your account balance. Specified agency accounts can use invoices.
Your payment goes to the Search Ads or Display Ads account's "Account Balance." When your ads get clicks, the cost of each click is subtracted from the account balance. Ad delivery stops when this account balance becomes "0 JPY."
The following table describes the difference between wire transfers and credit card payments.
