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.

I did have a few hiccups getting started and connected to Microsoft but support was always exceptional. Now things are connected and rolling well. Not as much traffic as google obviously, but it's there and you have less competition in a way so you can rank higher and still see great results.

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.
