After a link request has been sent by a partner, the receiving merchant must
approve the link before it becomes active. This is normally done by approving
the request in the Partners
tab of Google Merchant Center. However, links can
also be approved programmatically by using the accounts.link
method.
Example
To approve the link sent from partner 123456789 in the Requesting links
example, the client merchant 98765 can send an
approve action with linkedAccountId set to partner ID 123456789.
Note that the services list only contains one of the two originally requested
services in the example request. This selectively
approves the shoppingAdsProductManagement service, and leaves the request to
link the shoppingActionsOrderManagement service in pending status.
