Hi Omar,

Thank you for reaching out to us.

Upon checking on your provided details, I can see that there are fields that are not supported or compatible for the campaign types you are trying to create.

Please note that Pay per conversion is only supported by campaigns with AdvertisingChannelType.DISPLAY (excluding AdvertisingChannelSubType.DISPLAY_GMAIL), BiddingStrategyType.TARGET_CPA, and BudgetType.FIXED_CPA. The customer must also be eligible for this mode. See Customer.eligibility_failure_reasons for details.

You may check this documentation for more details in conversions of PaymentMode.

Best regards,

Heidi Google Ads API Team
