create merchant center account

[Prateek Srivastava]

Hello Google Content API team,  ,

I need to know is there any method or procedure through which we can create google merchant center account via API or using any third party. 

Thanks

if you're a comparison shopping service, it is possible as the account gets created as a sub account of your css merchant centre.  if you're not a CSS then as far as i am aware it is not possible to create a new account via API

Hello Prateek,

 

I’m Jame from the Content API Team. Thank you for reaching out to us.

 

I agree that it is not possible to create a new stand alone merchant account via API. Instead, you need to sign up by following this onboarding guide in order to have a merchant account. 

 

However, if you have a Multi-client account then it is possible to create a sub-account via API, you just need to make an API call to account.insert method.

 

Let me know if you have any questions.

 

Regards,
