Hi,

Thank you for contacting the Google Ads API support team. 

I understand that you are facing some issues while creating test accounts in your test manager account. Are you getting some errors from the Google Ads API? or after successfully creating the test accounts using the Google Ads API, you are not able to see those test accounts in your test manager account? Please note that as per Test accounts document, test accounts appear in the Google Ads UI as cancelled accounts since there is no active billing and they don't render ads to users. Therefore, in order to view them in the UI, you need to modify the filter under Accounts tab which also includes cancelled accounts. In order to assist you further, please elaborate more on your issue and provide the account Id of your test manager account.

If you are encountering some errors while using the Google Ads API, kindly get back to us with the complete API logs (request and response with request-id and request header) generated at your end without redacting any information. 

If you are using a client library and haven't enabled the logging yet, I would request you to enable logging for the specific client library that you are using. You can refer to the guides Java, .Net, PHP, Python, Ruby or Perl to enable logging at your end. For REST interface requests, you can enable logging via the curl command by using the -i flag.

You can send the details via Reply privately to the author option, or direct private reply to this email.

Thanks,
 

Google Ads API Team

Hi,

Thank you for your response. I created a test account in my manager account and it asked for billing details.  How can I create a test account in my manager account - 471-496-5745? 

Is it possible to create a test account only via API?

Regards,

Raj

Hi,

Thanks for your clarification. I'm not able to create test accounts under my manager account.

Can you please help me with that? I tried to create accounts and it is always asking for billing information.

Hi,

Kindly note that you can only create a client account under the production manager account. Also, you can only create test client account under test manager account. To create test account you can refer to this guide.

Additionally, you can refer to this guide to create a client account from your manager account.

Thanks,
