Existing Merchant Center Account - Phone Verification and Business Information Check
Introduction/Business Impact
Phone Verification Check
Phone verification is required of all merchants. For existing merchants, you will need to check to make sure your phone number has been added and verified.
Business Information Check
We require merchants to provide the name and address of their business. Their business information will be applied across the different features and tools that they can use in Merchant Center. If you have new merchants, please see the Business Information set up instructions under the New Merchant Center Account section. For merchants with existing Merchant Center Accounts, please refer to the instructions below.

Phone Verification Check
You can check the status of your account's phone verification in the AccountBusinessInformation.phoneVerificationStatus field.
Call the accounts.get method with an accountId and merchantId to view your account's business information:

If you need to have your merchants re-verify their phone number, learn more about how to do this in the New Merchant Center Account Creation - Phone Verification.
Business Information Check
If you have merchants that already have a merchant center account, there’s a strong chance they already have this information within their Merchant Center account. We recommend pulling this information on behalf of your merchants so they can re-check this data and make changes as needed through your integration.
If you have new merchants and want to learn more about how to pull this data on behalf of your merchants, please see the Business Information set up instructions under the New Merchant Center Connection - Account Creation section.
