Pay per Conversion in the API

[lbowe...@gmail.com]

Howdy everyone. 

We are looking at using the pay per conversion bidding setting. We would like to be able to detect this setting, or set campaigns to use this goal in the API. I cannot find anywhere to do this. Any clues?

Hi,

Thanks for reaching out to Google Ads API Support.

With regards to your concern, you may refer to the Bidding Strategy Types documentation for more information on the bidding strategy that you want to use. If you want a manual bidding strategy that allows advertisers to set the bid per advertiser-specified action, I recommend using the MANUAL_CPA. Additionally, if you want a manual click based bidding where the user pays per click, then I recommend using the MANUAL_CPC.

However, if this is not what you are looking for, then please note that Google Ads API mirrors the Google Ads UI. Meaning by using the Google Ads API, you can get and manage the data that you are seeing in the UI. With that being said, can you provide us with the full (not cropped) and non-redacted screenshot of the Google Ads UI data that you want to retrieve in Google Ads API? This is for us to be able to perform and to replicate the data on our side.

You may then send the requested information via the Reply privately to the author option. If this option is not available, you may send the details directly to our googleadsa...@google.com alias instead.
