Grant Us Access to Google Merchant Center
If you run Shopping campaigns or Performance Max campaigns, we need access to your Google Merchant Center so we can manage your product feeds, fix disapprovals, and keep everything running smoothly.
What you'll need
- Access to your Merchant Center account at merchants.google.com (you need to be an Admin)
- Our email address below
- About 5 minutes
Who to add
| Detail | Value |
|---|---|
| team@geekytech.co.uk | |
| Role | Admin |
Step 1: Open Google Merchant Center
- Go to merchants.google.com and sign in.
- Make sure you're signed in with the Google account that has Admin access to your Merchant Center.
Got multiple Merchant Center accounts?
If you manage more than one, check the account name in the top-left to make sure you're in the right one. Your GeekyTech account manager can confirm which account we need access to.
Step 2: Go to People and Access
- Click the Settings icon (gear/cog) in the top-right corner.
- Select People and access.
Step 3: Add our email
- Click the blue + button (Add user).
- Enter our email address: team@geekytech.co.uk
- Select the role: Admin
- Click Add user.
We'll get an email invitation and accept it from our end. Until we accept, you'll see our email listed as "Pending" in People and access.
Why do we need Admin access?
Admin gives us everything we need to manage your product feeds and Shopping campaigns:
| Permission | Included? |
|---|---|
| View products and feeds | Yes |
| Edit product data | Yes |
| Manage data sources (feeds) | Yes |
| Link Google Ads accounts | Yes |
| Add and remove users | Yes |
| Manage account settings | Yes |
Why not Standard?
Standard access can't link Google Ads accounts or manage users. Since we often need to set up or check the link between Merchant Center and Google Ads, Admin saves us from having to come back to you every time something needs adjusting.
How to find your Merchant Center ID
If we ever ask for your Merchant Center ID (for troubleshooting or linking purposes), you can find it in the top-right corner of your Merchant Center dashboard, next to your account name. It's a number that looks something like 123456789.
Merchant Center roles explained
For reference, here are all the access levels:
| Role | What they can do |
|---|---|
| Admin | Full access: manage products, feeds, users, settings, and Google Ads linking |
| Standard | View and manage products and feeds, but can't manage users or link Google Ads |
| Performance & Insights | View and manage reports and dashboards only |
| Email-only | No account access, just receives email notifications |
What happens next?
Once we accept the invite:
- We can start managing your product feeds and making sure your Shopping and Performance Max campaigns have clean, up-to-date product data.
- You stay the account owner. You can change or remove our access anytime.
- We'll confirm we're in and flag anything that needs attention with your product data.
