Hi,

I will setup consolidated billing in my Prod account, so I want to test it in a tests account, is there a way to do it?

Thanks

Hi Wei,

Thank you for reaching out.

I understand that you would like to test consolidating billing, however, since this setup is done only via the UI, I would recommend that you reach out to the product experts via the Google Ads Help Community forum for further guidance.

Moving forward, consolidated billing setup for production accounts would not be possible to apply on test accounts and budget order creation for test accounts would also not be possible. The reason is because, in the AdWords API perspective, the BudgetOrderService.mutate() method which is used for creating budget orders is available on a whitelist basis only and currently not supported for test accounts.

I hope this helps and please let me know if you have further clarifications.
