# Connect Google Merchant Center

> Link a Google Merchant Center account to a store so disapprovals appear in Atlios.

Connect Google Merchant Center to bring product disapprovals and account
warnings into the same issue inbox as your Shopify scans.

## Before you start

<Info>
  You need to be an **admin on the Google Merchant Center account** you want to
  connect. If you are not an admin, Google blocks the connection.
</Info>

<Info>
  Only a workspace **owner** can connect or disconnect a Merchant Center
  account. See [user roles](/reference/user-roles).
</Info>

Find your **Merchant Center ID** before you start. It is the account number at
[merchants.google.com](https://merchants.google.com), shown in the account
switcher in the top right.

## Connect the account

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the store integrations page">
    Open the store in Atlios and go to **Integrations**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Start the connection">
    On the Google Merchant Center card, choose **Connect**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enter your Merchant Center ID">
    Enter the digits of your Merchant Center ID and continue.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Approve in Google">
    Sign in to Google and approve access so Atlios can read your product and
    account status.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Return to Atlios">
    Atlios returns you to the integrations page and confirms the connection.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## After you connect

Atlios needs a few minutes to finish setting up with Google. The card shows this
while it works, then starts the first sync on its own. You do not need to click
anything.

After the first sync, GMC issues appear in the
[issue inbox](/product/issue-inbox) and any account warnings show as a banner.
From the card you can **Sync now**, **View issues**, or **Disconnect**.

## Reconnect after access expires

If Google access is revoked or expires, the card shows **Access expired**. Choose
**Reconnect** and approve access again. Still-valid issues reappear on the next
sync.

## Disconnect

Disconnecting removes the Merchant Center connection and quiets open GMC issues
so they leave the inbox. Workspace owners are notified by email. Reconnecting
later re-surfaces any issues Google still reports.

<Tip>
  If the connection fails or shows an error, check the [troubleshooting
  reference](/reference/troubleshooting#google-merchant-center-will-not-connect).
