How to Fund your Instagram Ads in Naira | Fix all Instagram Ads Payment Issues

Introduction

Running Instagram ads can be a powerful way to promote your business, but it can come with its challenges, especially for users in Nigeria. This article will guide you through the process of solving common payment issues with Instagram ads, including how to create a new ad account specifically for making payments in Naira. Whether your current ad account is in dollars or disabled, this step-by-step tutorial will ensure that you can run your ads without any hiccups.

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Log into Facebook Ads Manager

To get started, you need a Facebook account with advertising access. Log into your Facebook account on a laptop and navigate to Ads Manager. Click on See More, and then select Ads Manager.

2. Access Business Settings

Once in Ads Manager, locate the three-dotted line menu and click on it, then select Business Settings. The Business Settings dashboard allows you to manage your advertising assets, including your Facebook and Instagram pages, and multiple ad accounts.

3. Create a New Ad Account

If your current ad account is disabled or has payment issues, you will need to create a new one. Click on Ad Accounts in the Business Settings, then click on Add followed by Create a New Ad Account. Name your new ad account (e.g., "Mden NRA Prepaid Account"), set your time zone to Africa/Lagos (GMT +1), and make sure the currency is set to Naira (NRA). Click on Next.

4. Assign Your Business

When prompted, select the business that the ad account will be used for. Once confirmed, click Create. You will then need to set permissions, ensuring you have full control over this new ad account.

5. Add Payment Information

Next, click on Add Payment Info. Here, you need to choose a payment method. It’s crucial to avoid adding debit or credit card payment methods, as this will lock your account as a postpaid account which often leads to payment issues for Nigerian users. Instead, select Pay with Pay U or Pay with Transfer. If possible, make a small payment (even if it’s as little as N500) to secure your account as a prepaid account.

6. Connect Your Instagram Account

Now it’s time to add your Instagram account to the new ad account. In Business Settings, click on Instagram Accounts, then select Add. You’ll be prompted for the Instagram login details. Once logged in, you may have the option to save your login information.

7. Addressing Potential Blocks

In some cases, you may encounter issues such as your Instagram account being blocked. If so, you'll need to resolve these on the Instagram app or website.

Once you’ve connected your Instagram account successfully, proceed to connect it to your newly created ad account. Click on Connect Assets, select the ad account you just created, and then click on Add. Confirm that the ad account has been successfully assigned to your Instagram account.

9. Assign Permissions

To manage the Instagram account effectively, ensure you assign permissions to yourself by clicking on Assign People. Opt for Full Control to enable complete management of advertising assets.

10. Run Ads with the New Account

Now you can log into your Instagram account and use the new ad account for your advertising efforts. When creating ads, you will be able to pay directly in Naira, eliminating previous issues with payments.
