Objective: This guide provides step-by-step instructions on how Google Advertising partners can integrate digital wallets to offer users flexibility in managing their digital assets. By linking digital wallets to Google Ads partner, users can streamline payment processes, enhance security, and gain greater control over their advertising spend.
Step 1: Access Google Ads Account
Log In to Google Ads:

Step 3: Choose Payment Method
Select Payment Methods:

Step 4: Link Digital Wallet
Choose Digital Wallet Option:

- Select the option that allows you to link a credit/debit card or bank account through a digital wallet.
Step 5: Enter Wallet Details
Enter Digital Wallet Details:
