What constitutes VALID Payments Account usage scenario?

[Ceola Flannery]

Hi,

I am referring to the below blog post on restricting Payments Account usage across manager hierarchies and I need some clarification on whether our hierarchy means we will be affected or not.

Restricting Payments account usage across manager account hierarchies 

https://ads-developers.googleblog.com/2019/08/restricting-payments-account-usage.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+blogspot%2FlQlzL+%28Google+Ads+Developer+Blog+-+AdWords+API%29

Our hierarchy looks something like the below with potentially 000's of client accounts beneath each of the lower level MCCs

Each client account beneath MCC 3 will use the same Payments Account and each account under MCC 4 will use another one and so forth. That will mean that client accounts under MCC 3.1 and 3.2 will use the same Payments Account. Is this a valid scenario?

Thanks in Advance,

Hi Ceola,

Thanks for posting your concern.

If for example payments account A was setup for the MCC3, then only those belonging under the MCC3's hierarchy can use the said payments account A. If another payments account B was setup for the MCC4, then the same concept should be followed for its separate hierarchy.

To be sure, you need to make the BudgetOrderService.getBillingAccounts() in order to determine that the payments account you will be using is valid for the hierarchy you are managing.

Let me know if this helps and feel free to write back if you have additional clarifications.
