  • Complete Billing & payments — add a payment method and confirm currency/country.
  • If you use a manager account (MCC), ensure the Google user you connect can access the child account you will publish into.

  • Click Connect Google Ads and complete the Google OAuth pop-up.
  • Under Select customer account, choose an account → click Save customer account.

  • Published Google campaigns are created ENABLED for your selected flight dates.

Troubleshooting

  • No accounts after OAuth: Google user must have access to at least one customer account.
