Once you’re done connecting your Google account, accept the terms and conditions again and click ‘Next’ to proceed to step – 2.

Step- 2 Merchant Center

In this section, you must configure the Google Merchant Account linked to your Google account.

On the next step, authenticate all your details and click ‘Next’ to complete the merchant account setup.

Step – 3 Link Ads Account

You can connect an ads account from another Gmail account, create a new one, or connect an existing one. However, this step is not mandatory, and you can skip this step if you don’t need a Google Ads account.

Step-4 Configuration
