Tap the Menu (☰) icon.
Open Promote (or Creator Tools → Promote).
Tap Payments.
Select Manage payment methods.

Choose your goal, audience, budget, and duration.
Proceed to the payment screen.

If You Don’t See “Manage Payment Methods”

Some users report that payment methods can only be edited from the Promote payment screen itself.

A commonly shared workaround is:

Continue until you reach the Pay screen.
Tap the payment settings or menu icon.
Add, remove, or change the payment method there. Community members have reported success using this method when the option wasn’t available elsewhere.
