Hi Aryeh, Thanks once again for your response. In my specific case I still don't see any value in running conversion uploads in a test environment. The conversion data is already recorded successfully in a database on my webserver so I am 100% confident of passing the correct data to Google, so the worst case scenario is that I run the upload and nothing happens. So please let me know how I can go straight to a production Developer Token?
Thanks also for the links to cross-account conversion tracking, but it appears that it is pixel based. In 2021 optimizing ad campaigns by means of a third party pixel is close to completely ineffective, and will only continue to get worse long before Google finally and officially declares the pixel dead. This is the major reason I am uploading my conversion data.
