Account Access Overview

Please follow the instructions by platform to grant our team the necessary permissions. 

Amazon Access

Step 1: Amazon Ads Access There are three possible methods to grant access to your advertising account in Amazon’s ad console: Option 1: Grant Editor or Admin access to brands@momentumcommerce.com in the Ads Console.

1. Click on the Administration Gear at the bottom left of the Ads Console.

2. Click on Access and Settings.

3. Click on Invite User and choose Editor or Admin permissions.

Option 2: Provide your account ID, and we will send a request for access.

An account admin can find the account ID by signing in to the account and navigating to Access and Settings. The ID is displayed at the top of the page, directly below the account name. It usually looks like the following example: A123456789
