How to download Meta Ads receipts and invoices
Founder & CEO, Smartbills
2 min read
Meta, which runs Facebook and Instagram ads, issues a receipt for each charge when you pay by card or another pay-as-you-go method, and a monthly invoice if your business is on invoicing.
Receipts for each charge
- Open Billing & payments and choose the ad account.
- Go to Payment activity and set the date range.
- Download a single receipt from the Action column, or use Download for one PDF of every transaction in the range, or a billing report as PDF or CSV.
Receipts are only available on a computer, and for an ad account in a business portfolio you need full control of it.
What each receipt shows
The amount spent, the reason for the charge, the campaigns that ran up the cost and their results. Click and impression counts can differ from Ads Manager, because the receipt shows what you were charged for.
Matching a card charge
To find the receipt behind a line on your card statement, search Payment activity by the reference number shown on the statement.
VAT
Where VAT applies, it is shown on each receipt, which is where to check how much you paid on a given charge.
Invoices in Business Manager
Businesses on monthly invoicing find invoices in the Invoices section of Business Manager, not Ads Manager. Choose a date range, open an invoice to see its campaigns, and download one invoice or all of them for the period as PDFs. A statement of unpaid invoices is available as a CSV.
Meta ad receipts reconciled without exports
Card-paid ad accounts generate a charge every time spending hits the billing threshold, which can mean dozens of receipts a month. Connect the ad account and our AI agent signs in to Payment activity and saves each receipt as it posts, through bill fetching. Meta's payment emails can be filed by email receipt capture as well, and each receipt lines up with its card charge in your expense reports by reference number.
