Hi Charles, Bidding type (a.k.a. bidding strategy type) is set at the campaign level while specific bids are set at the ad group level. In both case you use the BiddingStrategyConfiguration<https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201309/CampaignService.BiddingStrategyConfiguration>object that can be attached to a Campaign and an AdGroup. For Campaigns you only set biddingStrategyType in the BiddingStrategyConfiguration (and sometimes the biddingScheme with the extra information required for the biddingStrategyType), while for Ad Groups you set the bids in the BiddingStrategyConfiguration.
