Set up your Microsoft Advertising account and give Pepperland access

Before you begin

Choose someone at your company who can administer the account and coordinate billing. Have your registered business details, company contact information, and payment information ready.

Pepperland recommends that your company own its advertising account and pay Microsoft directly. Each person should use their own login. Never share passwords, verification codes, or payment card details with Pepperland.

The person accepting Pepperland’s access request will need Super Admin permissions in Microsoft Advertising.

1. Check for an existing account

Ask your marketing or IT administrator before creating an account. Sign in to Microsoft Advertising and check whether your company already has an advertising account.

If an account already exists, use it rather than creating a duplicate. Its administrator can complete the remaining steps.

2. Create the account

1. Open Microsoft Advertising and begin signup using your intended work login.

2. Enter your company’s legal business name, website, location, and contact information.

3. Review the terms before accepting.

4. When offered campaign creation or import options, select Create an account only.

5. Complete the remaining account setup prompts and check your billing settings carefully.

See Microsoft’s account setup guide for details.

Review the account currency before confirming it. Microsoft does not allow you to change an account’s currency after setup.

Leave campaign creation, Google Ads imports, and launch to Pepperland after the account handoff and budget approval.

3. Confirm business details and verification

Select the correct advertising account, then open Settings > Account settings to review your company’s information.

Check Settings > Account verifications for any required advertiser identity verification. Follow the account’s instructions and deadlines, using business information that matches your supporting documents. Submit sensitive verification documents directly through Microsoft’s verification process.

See Microsoft’s advertiser verification guide and verification status guide for additional information.

Pepperland recommends keeping another trusted colleague as a Super Admin so your company is not dependent on one person for access.

4. Complete billing

The billing owner should select the correct advertising account, open Billing > Payment methods, and add the company’s payment information directly. Confirm any existing monthly invoicing arrangement instead of replacing it.

See Microsoft’s billing setup guide.

For spending approval, payment options, and promotional credits, also review Approve your Microsoft Advertising budget and check billing.

5. Give Pepperland access

Share your advertising account number

Open the account selector in the upper-left corner and locate the number beside your company’s advertising account. Send the account name and number to your Pepperland account lead at support@pepperlandmarketing.com.

Advertising account numbers contain eight letters and numbers. Manager account numbers contain 10. Unless your account lead requests otherwise, send the number for the individual advertising account Pepperland will manage. Pepperland will then send a linking request.

Accept Pepperland’s request

1. Sign in with a Super Admin login.

2. Open Tools > All accounts > Accounts summary.

3. Select Requests, then Received.

4. Find the request from Pepperland Marketing, manager account number F11000A4D4.

5. Review the advertising account and billing arrangement.

6. Under Actions, select Accept request and complete the confirmation prompts.

Your company should remain responsible for paying Microsoft unless you have explicitly agreed to a different arrangement with Pepperland.

This grants agency management access, not just reporting access. Your company retains access to its account and campaigns.

6. Confirm the handoff

Let your Pepperland account lead know that you accepted the request. Include the advertising account name and number, and flag any outstanding verification, billing, or account restrictions.

Pepperland will confirm that we can open the correct account and manage its campaigns.
