Apply for monthly invoice billing
If your business meets certain requirements, you may be able to accrue advertising charges through monthly invoice billing.Monthly invoice billing is a payment option where Microsoft Advertising extends you a credit line to accrue advertising charges. You then receive a monthly invoice and pay based on the terms and conditions of your contract. Your business must meet certain requirements to qualify for monthly invoicing.
Minimum requirements
Since monthly invoicing is tied to a credit line that allows your business to accrue charges, you'll need to undergo a credit check. In addition, Microsoft Advertising will assess whether your business meets these minimum requirements:
- Be a registered business for at least 1 year
- Have an active Microsoft Advertising account in good standing for at least 1 year
- US and Canada: Spend at least $5000 USD/CAD per month.
- Australia and Western Europe (Belgium, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Luxembourg, Portugal, Spain, and the United Kingdom): Spend at least $3000 USD equivalent per month.
- Other markets: Spend at least $2000 USD Equivalent per month (Includes Brazil, Netherland, the APAC Region, the LATAM region, Central and Eastern Europe region, and the Middle East and Africa region).
The financial standing of businesses are thoroughly reviewed and applicants may be asked for more information on a case-by-case basis. If you meet the minimum requirements and you are a Super Admin user, you can apply for monthly invoicing through Microsoft Advertising.
