Summary
We will add a new payment method, credit card post-pay for Search Ads and Display Ads (Auction). You won’t need to make a prior deposit to start advertising, even when paying by credit card. This feature is intended to improve user experience and is available to all advertisers.
For credit card post-pay, payments are made as follows:

• Automatic payment (threshold): Automatically charge the threshold amount when your usage fee exceeds the "payment threshold."
• Automatic payment (recurring): Automatically charge any unpaid usage fees from the previous month on the 1st day of each month.

*Manual payment is also available, allowing you to make payments at any time.

Notes

• When you open a new account, you will be able to select the credit card post-pay. You cannot change the payment method for accounts already in use.
  In the future, you will be able to change to a credit card post-pay when transferring your account. Wait for further announcements for more details.
• Display Ads (Guaranteed) and Shopping Search Ads are not included in this release.
• Yahoo! JAPAN Ads plans to release the "Payment Center." After the release of the "Payment Center," if you use the credit card post-payment method, you will need to register and update your credit card information in the "Payment Center." Note that the "Payment Center" requires sign-in with an integrated Business ID. For more details about the Payment Center, refer to the following announcement and help page.
