What are the payment options for advertisers in Japan?
AdWords accounts that have a billing address in Japan and that use the Japanese Yen (JPY) are eligible for both prepay and postpay. Details about each method are below. We recommend that you also look at the Account Fees and Payment Options page, which will give you more information about the payment options available to you. I. Prepay Prepay allows you to make payments before you receive advertising activity. You account balance will update soon after initiating a payment, and your ads will start running if they weren’t already. As you accrue advertising costs, we deduct the amounts from your prepaid balance. Your ads continue to run as long as there are adequate funds in your account, so be sure to regularly check your balance. To help you keep track, we’ll email you when your funds run low and again when your balance draws down to zero.
