Introduction
Many users encounter challenges in obtaining receipts from Google Ads since it does not provide an option to send receipts automatically via email. This article explains a workaround using Cardboard's "bulk receipt importer" feature.
Google Ads
Add your Cardboard card to Google Ads for payments
Let Google charge your card without automatic receipt collection.
Export receipts at the end of the accounting period
Through Google Ads
At the end of each accounting period (month/quarter/year), go to Google Ads.
Navigate to Billing > Summary
Expand the drop-down for the month you want the payment receipts for.
Expand the Payments section in that month.
Click on the payment to access its receipt and download the receipts as individual PDFs. For more information, go to Google Ads Help.
Through Google Ad Manager
At the end of each accounting period (month/quarter/year), go to Google Ad Manager.
Navigate to Payments > Payments info > Transactions.
Select the appropriate time range for your accounting period.
Click on the payment to access its receipt and download the receipts as individual PDFs. For more information, go to Google Ad Manager Help.
Upload receipts to Cardboard
In Cardboard, go to Accounting > Receipt upload.
Upload all the receipts exported from Google Ads Manager. Carboard will automatically match the receipts with your Google Ads subscription and payments.
Benefits
This process simplifies receipt management by requiring you to export receipts only once per accounting period.
Cardboard's matching algorithm will handle the rest, pairing receipts with historical payments lacking corresponding receipts.
You can check for missing receipts under Accounting > Accounting export. Clicking on X missing receipts will show all payments that lack a receipt.
