Create standalone (non-MCC) test account?

[wang yuantao]

Hi AdWords API team,

 

We are using production dev token to process MCC login and non-MCC login via CustomerService.

Now we want to add test using test account and test dev token.

However, according to

https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/accounts-overview#getting_started_with_test_accounts

It seems test account must be a test manager account or a client account under test manager account, which means in our test we can only cover MCC scenario.

Is there any way to create standalone (non-MCC) test account for testing?

 

Thanks,

Yuantao

Hello Yuantao,

If you need to perform some tests, you can create the Test MCC account using this link and then add test client accounts that it will manage. All client accounts created under a Test MCC account will automatically be marked as test accounts. Please make sure to use a Google account that is not yet linked to any AdWords account. 

However, if you have an existing Test MCC account, you may use its test accounts to perform tests and make calls to AdWords API services by setting the test accounts as the clientCustomerId in the request. That said, you can cover test accounts scenario in your tests. Additionally, you can use the developer token of the production (non-test) MCC account as discussed in the table here. You can use Approved developer token for both Test and Non-Test accounts.

Thanks,

Joyce, AdWords API Team
