Hello, I have spent the past few days researching as much as I can on how billing works with adwords and the adwords API. Figured I should post here to hopefully get clarification on how it works.
As far as I know there are two ways to setup billing: 1. Apply for MDS with your MCC account and get access to the BudgetOrderService. 2. Have client accounts associated with the MCC account login directly to Google and setup billing. I am currently in the process of finishing an application that our customers use to create adwords campaigns. And would like to have a seamless and easy experience for them to go through to get that done. 1. Is MDS/BOS the only way to automate billing using the API? I am aware you have to apply for it, which means we can't launch with this until we have had some history. 2. Is BudgetOrderService available in a test MCC account? If no, how are we supposed to test our implementations/integrations? 3. If the only thing I can do right now is redirect our users directly to their Adwords accounts to setup billing, are there any guides for this and/or best practices? We have the API integration mostly finished at this point, but billing is still something that we are missing in the implementation, so I appreciate all the help!
