Microsoft Channel

Extremely frustrating. I signed up for Microsoft Ads using the 'Sign up with Google' link, but the Shopify app DOES NOT allow you to 'Sign in with Google' - it simply says the account doesn't exist.

WARNING TO READERS: DO NOT sign up for Microsoft Ads using your Google account! You'll end up in an endless conversion with support reps who don't understand the issue and don't even have the permissions to fix it.

After creating a new Microsoft Advertising account and completing the identity verification process, our account was automatically suspended without any clear explanation. Despite multiple attempts to contact support, we have not received a reasonable or detailed response clarifying the reason for this action.
Our appeal was promptly rejected without further discussion or evidence provided. This experience is particularly frustrating given that we have been long-time users of Bing Webmaster Tools for over ten years and are active advertisers with Google, managing over €50,000 in monthly ad spend without any issues.
We are deeply disappointed by the lack of transparency, communication, and customer care shown in this matter. While we respect Microsoft’s right to enforce its policies, we believe legitimate businesses should be given at least a fair opportunity to clarify or correct potential misunderstandings.

Product Last Sync Status = "Failed - Internal Error".

As bad as you would expect Microsoft to be. Its a pain to install, and is not even able to track revenue which you obviously need for your campaigns to optimize properly. support ist hell, super slow and not able to help. just avoid this all together.

Leider nicht sehr stabil die App. Habe mich mal mit einem falschen MS Account eingeloggt, seit dem kommt nur ein Screen der mich drauf hinweist dass mein Account nicht aktiv ist und versperrt jede Einstellungsmöglichkeiten. Support hat nicht wirklich eine Ahnung für was die supporten - scheint ein allgemeiner MS Support zu sein - und neuinstallation hilft wohl auch nicht. Schade

Never works! Throws an error, gives no option to change the account you want to use. over complicated integration.

doesnt work properly:(

Just wasted my time. I spent 56 minutes with an Microsoft "expert" for nothing. He wasn't able to make it work.

app doesn't connect to shopify. we tried support and nothing they just say refresh and clear cookies we have done that 10 times. app doesn't work

I was hoping to run ads on Microsoft. In fact, I was excited to reach millions of potential customers.
It's been almost two weeks. I've spoken with numerous Microsoft support staff and my account is still locks and the account is still being verified.
I've submitted all the required documents, multiple times. I've asked for the documents to be reviewed by support to ensure that they are in good order.
Microsoft support, while very professional and polite, can only recite policy back to me. It's interesting. I can copy the policy into a txt doc. upload it into the Microsoft web browser and have it read the policy for me.
I'm confused as to what Microsoft support's job is.
Rather than create a framework that supports my business, Microsoft has created an obstacle course.

Don't count on it.
When setting up an ad account with Microsoft plan for a 3 to 5 day account verification process.
In addition, you might get your account banned on the day you set up your account, for apparently no reason. In order to get unblocked, you must wait an additional 7 to 10 days.
It appears that most people have a smoother onboarding. Just be aware that things can go sideways.
when setting up an account you get a marketing strategist that helps you out. In my case I need an account manager to unblock me.
