After my application for a developer token failed, I was told that I need to add Account Management to my application in order to comply with the AdWords API terms and policy. I am confused on the procedure in order to do that; I am currently using test accounts to do that. In order to manage my client's AdWord account with my developer token (which is test for now), it seems like I need to set up AcceptServiceLinks in order to manage my client's AdWords account. In the sample code, it says "this example accepts a pending invitation to link your AdWords account to a Google Merchant Center account", which I think I would also need a Google Merchant Center account too if I want to manage my client's AdWords account. However, in the AdWords API DevBytes video, it says I can "use an approved developer token for request against all your AdWords account, including those that are not linked to the developer's tokens [?MTC?] account"; from this, I think I do not need to setup AcceptServiceLinks in order to manage my client's account. In my understanding, it seems like I would need to use my own clientId and clientSecret then dynamically set the clientCustomerId "which is the account number of the Adwrods account I want to manage through API". However, I tried this before with my test developer tokens which give me an authorization error. Does this means that I need a Google Merchant Center account which can allow me to setup AcceptServiceLinks to my client's AdWords account then dynamically set my client's clientCustomerId in order to start managing my client's Adwords account? Or it will just work as long as I have a approved developer token, which means I will not be able test this through using test tokens? Also is there an easy way to get my client's clientCustomerId like accessing with their gmail credentials or will I have to ask my client to input that manually?
