A top-up adds funds to an ad account or wallet before spend happens. This is different from postpaid billing, where a card or invoice is charged after ads run.

Prepaid vs postpaid
Prepaid gives more control over spend and funding, while postpaid can be convenient but may fail if cards, banks, or risk systems block charges.
What to ask before funding
Ask about minimum top-up, accepted payment methods, fees, processing time, refund rules, and what happens if the account is reviewed after funding.
Top-up risk management
Do not send large funds before understanding the account, campaign plan, and support rules. Start with a practical test amount and scale funding as operations prove stable.
Buyer risk note
Payment method availability and processing times must be confirmed during onboarding.
