Hi

(Hope this is the correct forum for this question)

I had previously set up a Google account to handle Webmaster Tools using my personal email address.

Now we have started accepting payment via Google Checkout and I created a new Google account using an email address based on our website name Google@Websitename.com.

It's (a bit of) a pain to swap between these accounts and I was wondering if it is possible to merge the Webmaster account with our Checkout account to save me having to swap log in account details during the day (lazy I know).

Thanks

Mick

Accounts for several Google products can be moved from one Google Account to another. The products not mentioned below do not currently have this functionality.

  • You can move your AdWords account to a different Google Account
  • You can move your Google Analytics account to a different Google Account
  • To move your Google Base account to another Google Account...

    [adwords.google.com...]

    Looks like no Google Checkout on the list.

    Thanks tedster, seems like it cannot be done.

    Do you ever sleep?

    Try this: Set up a new Webmaster Tools verification file for the Google@Websitename.com address and once you know it's working, just stop using the other one.

    Yes, buckworks, I think that I'll have to set them all up again.

    My problem is that there is our main domain, a spanish version and about 10 sub domains. Just weighing up the time it will take to set them all up and verify against just swapping the log in account details.

    Think that I'll probably leave it for now and hopefully Google will add Checkout to their merge facility.
