How to find the Customer ID and Operating Customer ID?

It can be somewhat puzzling to figure out the difference between Google Ads Customer ID and Operating Customer ID, and how to locate them. Here’s an easy way to distinguish between them:

• Customer ID - the ID of the account that you’re using to authorize for the Google Ads Offline Conversion tag or Google Ads Customer Match API. If you’re using your customer account, the Customer ID is the ID of this account. If you access the customer account through a manager account, the Customer ID must be set to the ID of the manager account.
• Operating Customer ID - the ID of the Google Ads account that will receive conversions or customer data. This should be set to the ID of the customer account.
