Having trouble creating Hotel Ads campaign (NOT_COMPATIBLE_WITH_PAYMENT_MODE)

[Steve Wilcox]

Via the API, I created a campaign budget:

    { 

 "campaignBudget": { 

         "status": "ENABLED",

  "deliveryMethod": "STANDARD", 

  "type": "HOTEL_ADS_COMMISSION", 

"amountMicros": "20000000", 

"explicitlyShared": false, 

  "referenceCount": "0" } 

 }

I am now trying to create a campaign to use it:

{

  "operations": [

    {

      "create": {

        "name": "New Hotels Campaign",

        "status": 2,

        "campaignBudget": <campaign resource>,

        "advertisingChannelType": 5,

        "commission": {

          "commissionRateMicros": 100000

        },

        "hotelSetting": {

          "hotelCenterId": <our hotel center id>

        }

      }

    }

  ]

}

When I try, though, I get  NOT_COMPATIBLE_WITH_PAYMENT_MODE.  If I am understanding everything correctly, it's trying to create the campaign with the wrong payment mode.  I can't specify the payment mode on campaign creation, though, so how do I set it properly?

                },

                {

                  "fieldName": "create"

                },

                {

                  "fieldName": "commission"

                }

              ]

            }

          }

        ]

      }

    ]

  }

}

Been banging my head against this for a few days.  Reviewing a few campaigns that do what I want to do that were created in the UI, it appears that the paymentMode I'm looking for is CONVERSION_VALUE (3).

But I can't seem to figure out what other fields to populate that will make the API decide that's what paymentMode I'm looking for (since I can't specify it in the request).

This can be accomplished through the UI with little effort.  I just need to figure out how to do it through the API

Reposting the last inquiry (https://groups.google.com/g/adwords-api/c/_0LlDnUEeSo/m/MchYvY4DBwAJ) from the forum as it wasn't routed to our support queue.

Hi,

This guide discusses how you can use the commission strategy on your hotel campaigns. The PaymentMode would need to be :

To use a commission strategy, you will also need to set the PaymentMode enum to either CONVERSION_VALUE (requires BudgetType.HOTEL_ADS_COMMISSION) or GUEST_STAY (requires BudgetType.STANDARD). Also note that a commission strategy is not compatible with a shared budget.

That said, could you confirm if the above was the current setting when the error occurred?

If you continue to encounter the error, you may provide the complete request and response logs, with the request-id, so our team can investigate further. You may then send the requested information via the Reply privately to author option. If this option is not available, you may send the details directly to our googleadsa...@google.com alias instead.

I did manage to get it working, but the piecemeal nature of my changes means I'm not sure what I changed to get it there.

Hi Steve,

Glad to hear that you managed to make it work. That said, could you confirm if you have additional clarifications for our team regarding this topic?

[Steve Wilcox]

No, I don't think I do.
