# Approve a switch to Channable CSS

Approve a pending Channable CSS switch request in Google Merchant Center.

When Channable starts your CSS switch, Google notifies every Merchant Center admin.

You must approve the pending request in Google Merchant Center. Only admins can approve it. Google Ads does not show the request.

***

### <i class="fa-memo-circle-check">:memo-circle-check:</i> Before you start

**You'll need**

* Admin access to the Merchant Center account (required to approve CSS switch)

**Good to know**

* The CSS switch is an Account Transfer Request, not a Google Ads invitation. You won't find the switch request in Google Ads.
* Your plan is already active when this request arrives, and approving it unlocks the margin advantage (for EU eligible countries)

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://helpcenter.channable.com/css/readme/approve-a-switch-to-channable-css.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
