Response -------

Fault: errors { error_code { bidding_error: NOT_COMPATIBLE_WITH_BUDGET_TYPE } message: "The field is not compatible with the budget type." trigger { string_value: "PAYMENT_MODE_CPA" } location { field_path_elements { field_name: "operations" index: 0 } field_path_elements { field_name: "create" } field_path_elements { field_name: "payment_mode" } } } request_id: "oEhMrLTQvlyj6RuS8A7gTw" 

In Display Ads Bidding setting, I want to set "focus on"="Conversions" and "Automatically maximize conversions",  "target_CPA" and "pay for"="conversions".  When using API to mutate campaign ,I got error shown above in response.

Hi,

Thank you for posting your concern.

Based on this document, if the PaymentMode is set as CONVERSIONS, the BudgetType should be FIXED_CPA. However, the BudgetType of the budget you set in the create campaign is STANDARD and this is the reason why you encountered the error. With this, try setting a budget with BudgetType as FIXED_CPA to address the error.

Please let me know if you have further questions.
