Hi Mitchell, As I mentioned above, I am trying to use an EXISTING paymentAccountID which is in xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx format. According to billingsetup <https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/reference/rpc/google.ads.googleads.v2.resources#billingsetup> document, I should be setting payments_account and not payment_account_info as payment_account_info is used to signup with new payments accounts.
payments_account (StringValue) <https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/docs/reference/google.protobuf#google.protobuf.StringValue> The resource name of the payments account associated with this billing setup. Payments resource names have the form: customers/{customer_id}/paymentsAccounts/{payments_account_id} * When setting up billing, this is used to signup with an existing payments account (and then payments_account_info should not be set). * When getting a billing setup, this and payments_account_info will be populated. payments_account_info (PaymentsAccountInfo) <https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/reference/rpc/google.ads.googleads.v2.resources#google.ads.googleads.v2.resources.BillingSetup.PaymentsAccountInfo> The payments account information associated with this billing setup. *When setting up billing, this is used to signup with a new payments account (and then payments_account should not be set).* When getting a billing setup, this and payments_account will be populated. *Approach 1)* Now assuming, I have to use payments_account resource name (as I am using existing payments_account), *the java client doesn't support* ResourceNames.paymentsAccount(long custonerID,*String payment_accountId*) but only supports ResourceNames.paymentsAccount(long customerId,*long payment_accountId*) BillingSetup billingSetup = BillingSetup.newBuilder() // BUG: Google Ads api accepts only long PaymentsAccountId while // creating ResourceNames.paymentsAccount, but requires String // in format "xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx" .setPaymentsAccount(StringValue.of(ResourceNames.paymentsAccount(anAccountID, Long.valueOf(aBilling.getPaymentsAccountId())))) *Approach 2)* lets try the approach of setting payment_accountInfo, it throws error message INVALID_PAYMENTS_ACCOUNT as payments_account_name is mandatory to set, which I don't want to overwrite as I am using existing payment_accountId which already has a predefined name which I might have access to. *If I go ahead and set a payments_account_name in below request, the request is successful but It creates a new payment_accountId which obviously I don't want, as whole intention is to use same payment_accountId* Request ------- MethodName: google.ads.googleads.v2.services.BillingSetupService/MutateBillingSetup Endpoint: googleads.googleapis.com:443 Headers: {developer-token=REDACTED, login-customer-id=aaaaa, x-goog-api-client=gl-java/1.8.0_201 gapic/ gax/1.45.0 grpc/1.21.0} Body: customer_id: "bbbbbb" operation { create { start_time_type: NOW payments_account_info { payments_account_id { value: "xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx" } payments_profile_id { value: "yyyy-yyyy-yyyy" } } end_time_type: FOREVER } } Response -------- Headers: Metadata(content-type=application/grpc,request-id=H8OHfex_fwh3PV-IQQvyUw,date=Mon, 13 Jan 2020 10:03:59 GMT,alt-svc=quic=":443"; ma=2592000; v="46,43",h3-Q050=":443"; ma=2592000,h3-Q049=":443"; ma=2592000,h3-Q048=":443"; ma=2592000,h3-Q046=":443"; ma=2592000,h3-Q043=":443"; ma=2592000) Body: null Failure message: 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." location { field_path_elements { field_name: "operation" } field_path_elements { field_name: "create" } field_path_elements { field_name: "payments_account_info" } field_path_elements { field_name: "payments_account_name" } } } Any pointers would be nice??
