BillingSetup fails with error code "NO_SIGNUP_PERMISSION"

[Junho Song]

Hi, i am developing service using 'google ads api beta'

I write code follow https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/docs/billing/billing-setups

But the response says failed

{
  "error": {
    "code": 400,
    "message": "Request contains an invalid argument.",
    "status": "INVALID_ARGUMENT",
    "details": [
      {
        "@type": "type.googleapis.com/google.ads.googleads.v2.errors.GoogleAdsFailure",
        "errors": [
          {
            "errorCode": {
              "billingSetupError": "NO_SIGNUP_PERMISSION"
            },
            "message": "The customer does not have permission to signup for billing or does not have permission to use a given payments profile ID."
          }
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
}

It says i have not permissions.

'The customer' is a client account created by MCC account on AdWords UI

Payment profile ID is also registered on my 'https://pay.google.com/gp/w/u/0/home/settings'

I wrote the code like below

public function testBasicTest()
{
    $billingSetup = new BillingSetup();
    $billingSetup
        ->setPaymentsAccountInfo(
            (new PaymentsAccountInfo())
                ->setPaymentsAccountName(new StringValue(['value' => 'CreditCardTest']))
                ->setPaymentsProfileId(new StringValue(['value' => 'XXXX-XXXX-XXXX']))
        )
        ->setStartTimeType(TimeType::NOW);

    $billingSetupOperation = new BillingSetupOperation();
    $billingSetupOperation->setCreate($billingSetup);

    $billingSetupServiceClient = $this->googleAdsClient->getBillingSetupServiceClient();
    $billingSetupServiceClient->mutateBillingSetup(self::CLIENT_ID, $billingSetupOperation);
}

And it will generate request body like below

{
    "customerId": "1241969154",
    "operation": {
        "create": {
            "paymentsAccountInfo": {
                "paymentsAccountName": "CreditCardTest",
                "paymentsProfileId": "2096-9326-0136"
            },
            "startTimeType": "NOW"
        }
    }

}

Hi Junho,

Thank you for reaching out. Billing setups can only be created by customers who have permission to set up billings. You have to reach out to your Google Technical Account Manager for help in setting up permissions. Please let me know if you have any further questions. 

Thanks and regards,

Hi,

I have the same problem.

Ive looked through a lot of the answers in the forum and this is the standard response.

"Billing setups can only be created by customers who have permission to set up billings"

But where do you set the permission ? Where should i go to give the customer permission set up billings.

Hi Martin,

Thank you for reaching out. To get permission setting up billing for your account, you have to reach out to your Google Account Manager or Google Representative for help in setting up permissions. They will grant you necessary permissions for setting up billing.
