This is normally done by [approving\nthe request](//support.google.com/merchants/answer/9440376) in the **Partners**\ntab of Google Merchant Center. However, links can\nalso be approved programmatically by using the [`accounts.link`](/shopping-content/reference/rest/v2.1/accounts/link)\nmethod.\n| **Note:** When a link request contains mulltiple `services`, the receiving merchant has the option of only approving a subset of those service. For example, if a link request contains the services `shoppingAdsProductManagement` and `shoppingActionsOrderManagement`, the approver can choose to include only one or the other (Buy on Google was formerly known as Shopping Actions).\n\nExample\n-------\n\nTo approve the link sent from partner `123456789` in the [*Requesting links*\nexample](/shopping-content/guides/flagging/request#example_request), the client merchant `98765` can send an\n`approve` action with `linkedAccountId` set to partner ID `123456789`.\n\nNote that the `services` list only contains one of the two originally requested\nservices in the [example request](/shopping-content/guides/flagging/request#example_request). This selectively\napproves the `shoppingAdsProductManagement` service, and leaves the request to\nlink the `shoppingActionsOrderManagement` service in `pending` status. \n\n POST https://shoppingcontent.googleapis.com/content/v2.1/98765/accounts/98765/link\n {\n \"linkedAccountId\": \"123456789\",\n \"linkType\": \"eCommercePlatform\",\n \"services\": [\"shoppingAdsProductManagement\"],\n \"action\": \"approve\"\n }\n\nThe [next section](/shopping-content/guides/flagging/remove) describes how to remove existing links."]]
