How to create test client account under test MCC account

[Jade Nguyen]

I was able to create Google Ads Test Account, however, I couldn't create the test client account or partner campaigns due to "Billing setups can not be used based on current status of the customer." 

Therefore, following some api forum, I tried to show canceled client accounts by clicking the arrow next to my account number 719-675-1964, but I couldn't see any associated test client account. Could you advise?

Some reference:

Reposting the last inquiry (https://groups.google.com/g/adwords-api/c/OsjBc0vrVTY) from the forum as it wasn't routed to our support queue.

Hi,

Thank you for posting your concern.

Could you confirm if the said error was encountered in the UI after the creation of the test MCC account? If yes, then you may skip this process as the campaign under the test account will not go live and will not accumulate cost. However, if you continue to encounter issues creating the test account via the UI, I would recommend that you reach out to the Google Ads Product Support team via this link, for further guidance on UI related concerns or issues.

Then, you may instead try to add new client accounts using the API by referring to this sample code.

Hope this will help. Let me know if you have further questions.

Regards,
