When you use the automatic payment using the credit card, “Monthly automatic charge” is available. The monthly automatic charge makes a payment with the specified amount on the first day of every month.

The ordinally automatic payment makes a payment when your account balance is low, and you may find the advertising cost more expensive than you expected (depends on your settings and clicks).
The monthly automatic payment runs only once a month, and you won't find unexpected advertising costs.

You can manage your ads without spending too much money. You can additionally make manual payments if the account balance is too low to run ads.

The monthly automatic charge is recommended for the following advertisers:

When you just started Yahoo! JAPAN Ads and not sure about the costs
When you want to manage ads with the specified amount.

What is the difference?

Ordinally "Automatic payment"

The automatic payment runs when the account balance gets low.
There is no limit for the number of payments made, therefore more expensive costs than you expected may be charged to your credit card.
Automatic payment works when you don't miss any chance of ad delivery.

Monthly automatic charge

Monthly automatic charge makes a payment with the specified amount once at the first day of each month.

It is recommended for advertisers who want to manage ads with the limited budget.

Tips
You can always make manual payments. Learn more about Manual Payment by Credit Card.
