How to fix: compromised sites

A custom icon for Merchant Center Classic and Merchant Center Next.

Keeping your Merchant Center account safe is a top priority and Shopping has many safeguards in place to ensure that your account is safe. However, if we think that your account has been compromised for any reason, we'll suspend your Merchant Center account to stop your products from serving and also disable your Google Account in order to minimise any potential damage. Once we disable your Google account, you won't be able to use any products such as YouTube, Gmail and other Google products associated with that Google Account.

If your Merchant Center account has been suspended due to unauthorised account access or if you simply suspect unauthorised account access, take the following steps so that we can help you access your account as soon as possible.

Instructions

  • Step 1: Recover your Google Account. 
  • Step 2: Report your compromised Merchant Center account.
  • Step 3: If you have a dedicated account manager, let them know right away.

Once you take these steps, we'll be able to investigate your account. 

We're here to help if your account is compromised. But to help ensure your account's continued safety, we recommend taking all possible steps to keep your account secure.
