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

  1. Add your Cardboard card to Google Ads for payments

    1. Let Google charge your card without automatic receipt collection.

  2. Export receipts at the end of the accounting period

    1. Through Google Ads

      1. At the end of each accounting period (month/quarter/year), go to Google Ads.

      2. Navigate to Billing > Summary

      3. Expand the drop-down for the month you want the payment receipts for.

      4. Expand the Payments section in that month.

      5. Click on the payment to access its receipt and download the receipts as individual PDFs. For more information, go to Google Ads Help.

    2. Through Google Ad Manager

      1. At the end of each accounting period (month/quarter/year), go to Google Ad Manager.

      2. Navigate to Payments > Payments info > Transactions.

      3. Select the appropriate time range for your accounting period.

      4. Click on the payment to access its receipt and download the receipts as individual PDFs. For more information, go to Google Ad Manager Help.

  3. Upload receipts to Cardboard

    1. In Cardboard, go to Accounting > Receipt upload.

    2. 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.
