Do we need to add the billing information for production account during the testing

[ulfathussain.dp...@gmail.com]

Hi

I have the following setup.
=======================================================
I have an MCC account for production with the details
Customer ID      :  333-332-3726
Email Address   : ulfathussa...@gmail.com
=======================================================
I have an test MCC account with the details
Customer ID      :  247-901-4773
Email Address   : ulfathussain.dp...@gmail.com
=======================================================
I have also created an application on "https://console.developers.google.com" with following details
name              :   TestAppForMCCAccount
email               :   ulfathussain.dp...@gmail.com (used for sign in purpose to create the application )
ClientId            :   xxxxxxxxx.apps.googleusercontent.com
Client Secret    :   xxxx
Product Name  : "Test Website For AdWord Account Testing" ( for consent screen)
=======================================================
I am using the sample in client libraries( for .net). I have added the following values in the web.config of web application sample,
<add key="UserAgent" value="TestAppForMCCAccount"/>
<add key="DeveloperToken" value="xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"/>
<add key="ClientCustomerId" value="247-901-4773"/>  // this is the Id of test mcc account 
<add key="OAuth2ClientId" value="xxxxxxxxx.apps.googleusercontent.com" />
<add key="OAuth2ClientSecret" value="xxxx" />
<add key="OAuth2Mode" value="APPLICATION" />
<add key="OAuth2RefreshToken" value="" /> // I have set it empty.
=======================================================
When I run the application and start authorization process, then I am taken to sign in page where I sign in using "ulfathussain.dp...@gmail.com". Then it asks me that application would like to "Manage your AdWords campaigns". I grant permissions and redirected to main page of web application. Here I enter the Customer ID which is "247-901-4773" for the test MCC account(I have not created any AdWord account in test account). When I click button to get the campaigns then I get the error of "INCOMPLETE_SIGNUP".

Am I missing some key here?
Do we still need to enter the billing information in Production MCC account even if we are using the testing account?

Hi Ulfat,

The error could mean one of the two things:

1. You are not using the developer token from your production account 333-332-3726

2. You haven't entered billing details and accepted AdWords API T&C on your production account 333-332-3726.

It is fine to use ClientCustomerId as 247-901-4773, but if you want to do things like create campaigns, ads, etc. you also need to create an advertiser account under your test MCC 247-901-4773 and use that ID in ClientCustomerId header.

Hi Anash,

  We are trying to use a test account to also test the adwords api.  We're trying to see if we can load a set of keywords (1000 products) and associate them to a campaign, so we'd like to test out how to do the preload.  We only have a pending approval token we've tried to use to test, but getting the same incomplete signup error as Ulfat.

any ideas?  my billing information on the production account I set up to get a token (pending approval) seems to be all there (I had received an error when filling out the form, but I can see my information now).

thanks,

Irv
