Hi, 

     I'm developing a wordpress plugin so that any user can create campaign from wordpress admin itself. So i want to use oauth2 api so user dont need to add access token and all every time.
I saw api which asking me to create MCC account first. So my question is if user login using his/her own adwords account it means they can access all data of my MCC account. Also will payment cut from my credit card?

Please help me I studied many apis of adwords but could not figure out this.

Hi Deval,

If you wish to use the AdWords API, you will first be required to sign up for a MCC account so that you can then generate your developerToken from that MCC account. You can carefully follow this sign up guide on how to achieve this and afterwards request for basic access through this application form so you can make calls against your production accounts (once basic access has been approved) using the AdWords API. Also, make sure that you generate your OAuth2 credentials by referring to this guide.

Moving forward to your concern regarding access, as long as the users are not using the OAuth2 credentials which you created while logged in to an email address which has access to your MCC, then they would not be able to access your MCC account and all other client accounts under your MCC. They would need to use OAuth2 credentials which has access only to their (client) accounts so that their access will be exclusive only to the accounts which the email address has access.

Regarding costs, when your production account's campaigns, adgroups, ads, and keywords, etc. start serving or when they start generating statistics, that would be the time where you will be billed. For further assistance regarding how your account will be billed, I would recommend that you get in touch with the product experts via the Google Ads Community Forum as they are better equipped to assist you regarding this matter.

I hope this has been helpful.

Thanks and regards,
