Details around when and how you will be charged.

You're never charged for ads that didn't run, only for billable impressions. Find answers to all your billing questions here.


Add or update payment method

A valid payment method is required when you’re ready to run ads. Learn more about how to add or update payment method


When will I be charged?

You're charged when the billing threshold that's set by Roku is reached. If there's any remaining spend after your threshold is reached, your payment method will be charged on the last day of the month. Learn more about monthly charges

Updating an expired credit card

When your credit card is due to expire, we’ll work with your credit card company to update it automatically, so your campaign won’t be interrupted.

In the unlikely event that we can’t update it, your payment status will show as "failed" and you'll receive an email.


Account deactivated due to nonpayment

When a payment isn't received, your ad account is deactivated and your campaign activity stops immediately. Read the full article


Requesting a refund

Refunds aren't available, except on a case-by-case basis. Learn more about refunds


Taxation

Tax or VAT may be added in accordance with local tax laws.


Billing threshold

Your monthly billing threshold will be initiated at $500 though the actual charges may be slightly higher, depending on when the payment is processed. Thresholds may increase as successful payments are made.


Chargebacks

You're only charged for impressions that've been delivered and we don't support a reversal of those charges. If you pursue a reversal with your credit card company, your account will be locked.
