| `` rpc CreateTestAccount( ` CreateTestAccountRequest ` ) returns ( ` Account ` ) `` Creates a Merchant Center test account. Test accounts are intended for development and testing purposes, such as validating API integrations or new feature behavior. Key characteristics and limitations of test accounts: - Immutable Type: A test account cannot be converted into a regular (live) Merchant Center account. Likewise, a regular account cannot be converted into a test account. - Non-Serving Products: Any products, offers, or data created within a test account will not be published or made visible to end-users on any Google surfaces. They are strictly for testing environments. - Separate Environment: Test accounts operate in a sandbox-like manner, isolated from live serving and real user traffic.
