4. Set up a Returns Policy - This is done in the Merchant Center. Allow for 30 days for the customer to ship, 20 days for it to reach your return address. This is a participation requirement minimum. Email your return address to Google shopping-actions-support@google.com for them to load/validate. Include company name Merchant Center ID and full address for receiving returns. When you send this email, include your account name and account id, as it is in the merchant center. Review all information about returns here.
   
   
5. User Roles - Assign User roles specifically for Shopping Actions (In GMC). By default, the Admin user in Google Merchant Shopping settings will be applied as an admin user in Shopping Actions. If you are the Admin user, be sure to specifically apply a user to the Payments module. To do this, go to the upper right of Merchant Center > 3 dot menu > User Roles.
