Hi Team

[Leonel Pedraza]

I'm trying create new accounts but i get an error relationated with the payment profile:

errors {
  error_code {
    billing_setup_error: INVALID_PAYMENTS_ACCOUNT
  }
  message: "The requested payments account needs either a correctly formatted id (xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx), or a non-blank name."
}

I'm passing correctly the payment_profile_id.

I need help with this problem

Hi, 

Thank you for reaching out to the Google Ads API support team.

After reviewing your concern, I understand that you are getting an INVALID_PAYMENTS_ACCOUNT error, can you please confirm if you are following the instructions for using a new / existing payments account, in this Billing Setup? Kindly note that, available payment accounts depend on the authenticating user. You can use the PaymentsAccountService ListPaymentsAccounts methods to see which are available. 

If you are still facing the issue, please provide us with the complete API logs (request and response with request-id and request header) and uncropped UI screenshots to further investigate this issue. 

If you are using a client library and haven't enabled the logging yet, I would request you to enable logging for the specific client library that you are using. You can refer to the guides Java, .Net, PHP, Python, Ruby or Perl to enable logging at your end. For REST interface requests, you can enable logging via the curl command by using the -i flag.
 

This message is in relation to case "ref:_00D1U1174p._5004Q2pQGkO:ref"

Thanks,
