How To Set Daily/ Lifetime Budget Caps For Facebook Campaigns?

There are 2 types of budget duration that you can set:

a) Lifetime budget

b) Daily budget

When you set your budget for lifetime mode, you essentially want your budget to be spent over the entire run-time of your campaign or ad group. Lifetime budgets are useful if you don’t want to exceed a certain amount of overall spend and to have flexibility on how much you want to spend daily. 

However, if you have specific daily spend goals for your campaign or ad group runs, then you should opt for daily budget.

1. Quick Launch a Facebook Campaign.
2. Select one of the Budget Type either Daily Budget or Lifetime Budget depending on your strategy (NOTE: Do not tick the toggle "Don't apply daily budget cap to all ad groups" or leave it unchecked).
