Changes in Yahoo! JAPAN Ads
Some specifications will change in Yahoo! JAPAN Ads to use the integrated “Business ID.” Changes will be as follows:
- Change sign-in method
You will be able to sign in with your integrated “Business ID” in the Campaign Management Tool and Campaign Editor of Yahoo! JAPAN Ads. Customers using LINE corporate services such as LINE Ads and LINE Official Accounts will also be able to sign in to Yahoo! JAPAN Ads using their “LINE Business ID,” improving convenience.
Once you integrate to “Business ID,” you will not be able to sign in with a one-time passcode using Yahoo! JAPAN Business ID. If you have not linked your Yahoo! JAPAN Business ID to your Yahoo! JAPAN ID and are using a one-time passcode to sign in, we recommend that you use your LINE Business ID business account to sign in after the integration.
The one-time passcode sign-in using Yahoo! JAPAN Business ID is scheduled to end around March 2026. - “Tool administrator” and “Tool access” will end
Applying “Tool administrator” and “Tool access” for Yahoo! JAPAN Business ID to Yahoo! JAPAN Ads will end. With the end of “Tool administrator” access, only users with “Admin access” will be able to add new employees (create new Yahoo! JAPAN Business IDs).
Note that the account access will continue to apply even after the tool administrator and tool access ends. The range of operations available for the account will not change. - Change specification of account transfers
Beginning with transfers after August 1, 2025, no changes or cancellations of access for business IDs of the original company will be made. The system does not change the access of the transfer account, which may allow unintended users to view and modify the account. Confirm your access before transferring your account.
See the following help page for details.
Notes on account transfer - Yahoo! JAPAN Business ID - Change specifications of account invitation
When inviting users to your account, you currently specify your Yahoo! JAPAN Business ID. After the implementation date, you will use their e-mail address to invite users.
Notes
- You can integrate with “Business ID” even if you do not have a “LINE Business ID.” After the integration, you can select to sign in with your “LINE Business ID” Business Account or LINE Account.
- To use Yahoo! JAPAN Ads after the implementation date, an “Yahoo! JAPAN business ID” is required. When inviting new users to Yahoo! JAPAN Ads, issue a “Yahoo! JAPAN Business ID.” Specify the Yahoo! JAPAN Business ID you have issued and integrate it into the “Business ID”.
- When applying for Yahoo! JAPAN Ads or Yahoo! JAPAN Ads API, you will need to continue to use your” Yahoo! JAPAN ID.” After your application is complete, integrate your “Yahoo! JAPAN Business ID” linked to your “Yahoo! JAPAN ID” into your “Business ID.”
- After the implementation date, even if a "Yahoo! JAPAN Business ID" approved with the Yahoo! JAPAN Ads API has the link removed from a "Yahoo! JAPAN ID," there will be no authentication error in the ad account. To revoke approval, refer to “Revoke an approved application” in the following page.
