• API Key: Get a Google Shopping ads API key through your Magento web account. See Add an API Key.

Consider using email accounts for your business as the account will be the primary owner (admin) of the Google, Google Merchant Center, and Google Ads accounts you set in this integration.

  • Google account: We recommend using a Google account for your business or company, not a personal Google account.

  • Google Merchant Center account: You will create these accounts during onboarding. You cannot use an existing GMC account. If you have store URLs claimed and verified by an existing GMC account, you will need to unclaim.
