Hello Sérgio, ok, that's good to know. I tried to create a shopping campaign from merchant center UI as well. It says, that the link status for the adwords customer ID 612-309-0132, which is the test MCC, is active. But everytime I try to create a shopping campaign there, it says "Oops, something went wrong, try again" (see screenshot attached).
The test MCC adwords site states, that there's no merchant center connected. I also tried changing the link status in the merchant center to inactive and back to active. Didn't work unfortunately. Is there a way to completely disconnect the merchant center and reconnect it again? I assume that something went wrong when linking it.
