CreateTestAccount

rpc CreateTestAccount( CreateTestAccountRequest ) returns ( Account )

Creates a Merchant Center test account.

Test accounts are intended for development and testing purposes, such as validating API integrations or new feature behavior.

Key characteristics and limitations of test accounts:

  • Immutable Type: A test account cannot be converted into a regular (live) Merchant Center account. Likewise, a regular account cannot be converted into a test account.

  • Non-Serving Products: Any products, offers, or data created within a test account will not be published or made visible to end-users on any Google surfaces. They are strictly for testing environments.

  • Separate Environment: Test accounts operate in a sandbox-like manner, isolated from live serving and real user traffic.
