How to setup Billing for new customer through Ads API

[Ting Wang]

Hi,

I have a question regarding setting up billing for new customer under MCC.

I have MCC account and one client customer under MCC with proper billing setup. I created a new client customer under MCC through Ads API and try to setup a billing refer to this doc.I set the fields payments_account_name and payments_profile_id and mutate BillingSetup and got the following error:

{{ "errorCode": { "billingSetupError": "NO_SIGNUP_PERMISSION" }, "message": "The customer does not have permission to signup for billing." }}

After I got the error, I retrieve the billing setup for that new customer and I found the fields payments_account_name and payments_profile_id has been setup but in pending status. I don't know whether it is proper way to set up billing for new client customer.

Billing setup with ID '542089755', status 'Pending', payments account '', payments account Id '', payments account name 'Test1', payments profile id '6976-4552-1590', payments profile name '', secondary payments profile id ''.

What is correct step to associate existing payment profile to new client customer? Does MCC account have to be consolidated billing? Will pending status be approved auotmatically?

Thanks,

Ting
