ChatGPT ads test on your own account

The same test, run from a ChatGPT ads account you own. About 25 minutes of steps on OpenAI's site, and a business check that can take up to a week.

Paste your ChatGPT ads key

Create it at ads.openai.com › Settings › API keys. Name it "theStacc".

Paste key here

The key lets theStacc create, change, pause and report on ads in this one ad account. It cannot add cards or change billing. Delete it at OpenAI any time to cut us off. Leads go back through a separate conversions key, which we set up with you and test with one sample lead.
