Hello everyone,

We have 10+ accounts in our Google Ads manager account, and I need to track billing info for each of them. Ideally, I’d like to export this data into a Google Spreadsheet.

On the billing page I can see information like:

Next automatic payment: Oct 1  
or when your balance reaches $500.00  
You’ve used $272.54 of your $500.00 payment threshold.


I’d like to fetch this information programmatically for each account:

Next automatic payment date

Current balance

Payment threshold

The reason I need this is that we manage many cards across different accounts, and sometimes a card doesn’t have enough funds when Google charges it. This causes failed payments.
If I could track upcoming charges and balances automatically, I could make sure to top up the right cards or even make manual payments in advance.

This way I can also avoid situations where Google cannot collect the payment, which might cause disruption to campaigns or even financial loss for Google. I want to prevent that from happening.

Could anyone please help me?
Thank you!

Hi,

Thank you for reaching out to the Google Ads Scripts support team.

Currently, Google Ads Scripts support these methods to fetch the Billing accounts. Retrieving the "Current balance" is not yet supported in  Google Ads Scripts. For any future updates and more information regarding this feature, I would suggest keeping an eye on our Blog Post.  

Regarding remaining fields "Next automatic payment date" and "Payment threshold", could you please share uncropped screenshot of the Google Ads account by highlighting them?

You can send the details via Reply privately to the author option, or direct private reply to this email.

Thanks,

Hello Google Ads Support,

I am currently using Google Ads Scripts to monitor my account spend. Since Google Ads gradually increases the billing threshold ($10 → $50 → $100 → $200 → $350 → $500, etc.), I would like to check the current billing threshold of my account in real time.

Could you please let me know:
Is there a specific function in Google Ads Scripts to retrieve the current billing threshold?

Thank you for your help!54511ec738e61348edcc254962729ee1.png

Hi,

Please be noted that there is no such method in the Google Ads Scripts to retrieve account threshold value. You can only retrieve account cost by using the getCost() method.

I hope this helps! Feel free to reach out to us for any further concerns.

Thanks,
