Re: Priority of Product Listing Ads campaigns
Hi David, Glad to hear that this resolved the issue. Our AddShoppingCampaign.java example https://github.com/googleads/googleads-java-lib/blob/master/examples/adwords_axis/src/main/java/adwords/axis/v201406/shoppingcampaigns/AddShoppingCampaign.java does contain code that creates the AdGroupAd (ProductAd), but I'll see if we can highlight this better in the shopping campaign documentation as well.

Hi Josh, The old regular campaign is 68259730. We have also a multi-account in Google Merchant Center. One of the new shopping campaigns (for one of our merchants) is 186298450.

Re: Priority of Product Listing Ads campaigns
Hi Josh, In the setting's page of the Google AdWords desktop I have found this: Shopping settings (advanced) Campaign priority Medium Edit Low Medium High Choosing a Medium or High priority for this Shopping campaign will also prioritize it over any existing Search Network Only - Product Listing Ads campaigns. Choosing a Medium or High priority for this Shopping campaign will also prioritize it over any existing Search Network Only - Product Listing Ads campaigns. As far as I know, the regular PLA campaigns have low priority. With a medium priority in the shopping campaigns, theoretically they should prevail over the regular ones. Is that right?
