Onboarding: Connect to existing MC account in Google Accounts Card

[joemcgill]

[!Caution] Blocked by #2566

Part of https://github.com/woocommerce/google-listings-and-ads/issues/2509

After connecting a Google account, we will provide the UI to allow the merchant to connect to an existing MC account.

Acceptance Criteria

• [ ] When the Google account has 1 or more existing MC accounts, show the MC connection UI
• [ ] If only one account exists, it should automatically be selected.
• [ ] If multiple accouns exists, the user should be able to select which to connect.
• [ ] The user can click the "connect" button to connect the selected MC account.
• [ ] If there is no Ads account and one is being created, the card description should only reference Ads (see designs)

Implementation Brief

• Using the GoogleComboAccountCard created in #2566.
• Check if the Google connected account has an Merchant Center account connected.
  • This is done by checking googleMCAccount.status === connected via the useGoogleMCAccount hook.
• Create connect-mc/index.js in the same folder as GoogleComboAccountCard which will house the ConnectMC component.
• It should follow the logic contained in js/src/components/google-mc-account-card/connect-mc/index.js to display the data (not the UI) and styled as per the designs.
  • Use the existing components, for e.g Section.Card.Body for the layout.
  • Rendering a select if there are multiple options or text if there's only one option is handled in #2593.
  • Clicking the "Connect" button should follow the same logic as handleConnectMC in js/src/components/google-mc-account-card/connect-mc/index.js.
• If there's no connected Google Merchant Center account and the user has at least one MC account, render ConnectMC within GoogleComboAccountCard.
  • To check if the user has at least a MC account, use the useExistingGoogleMCAccounts hook.
• Additionally, if there is no Ads account, GoogleComboAccountCard should automatically create one.
  • The logic for this should be handled in #2567.
  • The logic for updating the account creation text "You don’t have Google Ads account..." should be made in the same component that adds the "You don’t have Merchant Center nor Google Ads accounts..." text from #2567.

Test Coverage

• E2E tests should be added to assert the main points mentioned in the AC.

Definition Questions

• If there is only one MC account, do we really need to prompt the user to connect it? Instead, can we automatically connect the single account? The user could always switch to a different MC account later through Edit mode if needed.
• There isn't a specific design for when users click the "Or, create a new Merchant Center account" button. However, we can display the WarningModal from js/src/components/google-mc-account-card/warning-modal/index.js, and then proceed with creating the new MC account. If that's the approach, how should the UX look while the account is being created? Should we hide the ConnectMC component.

@joemcgill I've updated the IB. Can you kindly take a look and let me know what you think please?

Similar to my answer in https://github.com/woocommerce/google-listings-and-ads/issues/2596#issuecomment-2349044080, we always want the user initiate the connection to an existing account at this point.

The requirements for connecting a new account are described in #2604. We could consider combining these but wanted to try to keep the tasks fairly focused.

Thanks @joemcgill

I've made a few updates to the Implementation Brief, mainly simplifying the description for kicking off creation of an Ads account if none exists, since that will all be handled in #2567. This issue should only be responsible for updating the text that is displayed during account creation when there are already existing MC accounts.

One additional consideration for this issue is if we should go ahead and handle the reclaim URL flow as part of this issue, or create a follow-up issue for it. Currently, it exists as part of the requirements for #2604, but I think it would be better to have this flow in place sooner.

@eason9487 this one is ready for you to review as well, please.

One thing may need to be clarified is similar to https://github.com/woocommerce/google-listings-and-ads/issues/2596#issuecomment-2373325283.

Thanks @eason9487 . I added a note in the IB for that. It'll be highly unlikely but something to watch out during implementation.

Closing this as completed since it was part of the 2.9 release.
