Getting started

Switch CSS without rebuilding your Shopping setup.

KIPLAR handles the change around your existing Merchant Center and campaigns. Your team keeps control while the CSS relationship is updated.

  1. Create your account and add your shop

    Sign up in our partner portal, enter your webshop details and complete a few simple onboarding steps.

  2. We check eligibility and the current setup

    We confirm the markets you advertise in, review the Merchant Center structure and check whether the account is currently represented by Google Shopping or another CSS.

  3. You approve the switch in Merchant Center

    KIPLAR initiates the CSS change and your Merchant Center admin approves the request. If the account is currently on Google Shopping CSS, the switch can complete immediately after approval; moving from another CSS can take longer depending on its grace period.

  4. Your campaigns keep running under KIPLAR CSS

    The existing Shopping setup stays in place while the new CSS relationship takes effect. We then monitor auction and campaign performance against the baseline and decide how best to use the additional bidding advantage.

No hidden fees or inflexible contracts. The 25% advantage typically pays for itself many times over.

FAQ

Questions, answered

€18.99/month per Merchant Center account, however many countries it covers – one flat fee, no commission, no percentage of your ad spend, no setup costs, whatever your Shopping budget. Prices are shown excl. VAT; VAT is added at checkout based on your billing country. That makes KIPLAR one of the lowest-priced CSS partners in Europe, where many charge €39+/month or take a cut of your sales. Your first month is free with a 30-day trial.

A Comparison Shopping Service represents retailers in Google Shopping. Google Shopping is one CSS option; KIPLAR CSS is an alternative for merchants advertising in eligible European markets. Your ads look and behave identically – the only visible change is a small “By KIPLAR” label under the ad in place of “By Google”.

Google confirms that its own CSS deducts a fixed percentage margin before the merchant bid enters the auction. KIPLAR CSS uses a different commercial model, allowing more of the nominal bid to compete directly: through Google Shopping a €1.00 bid carries €0.80 into the auction, through KIPLAR CSS the full €1.00 competes – up to 25% more bidding power for the same budget.

It is not a 1:1 discount on your invoice. Keeping bids unchanged gives your Shopping campaigns more auction strength – more room for impressions, clicks and sales without adding media spend. Or take it as efficiency: lower the nominal bid while maintaining similar auction competitiveness. The effect on CPC, traffic and revenue depends on your bids, competition and campaign setup.

No rebuild is required. The existing Merchant Center can be switched to another CSS while your Google Ads campaigns and historical account data remain in place. The switch is approved by your Merchant Center administrator.

You sign up, KIPLAR initiates the CSS change and your Merchant Center admin approves the request. If the account is currently on Google Shopping CSS, the switch can complete immediately after approval; moving from another CSS can take longer depending on its grace period. Ads keep running throughout.

Google currently lists 21 CSS program markets across Europe, including Germany, France, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, Poland, Romania and the United Kingdom. KIPLAR CSS can place your ads wherever the program runs.

Merchant Center shows which CSS providers are allowed to advertise your products, and Google also provides CSS activity data. We additionally compare campaign performance against the pre-switch baseline to see how the economics change.

Yes. Your Google Ads and Merchant Center accounts stay yours, you keep the customer relationship, and every metric stays in your dashboards. KIPLAR sits behind the scenes as the CSS – we never take over your campaigns.

No meaningful effect. Shoppers focus on the image, title, price, and store name; the small “By [CSS]” line barely registers. Large-advertiser tests show the difference is negligible either way.

No. You keep the same Google Shopping Ads support for policy, disapprovals, and account issues. On top of that, you get KIPLAR’s own email support answered within 1 business day, a personal account manager, and access to Google’s dedicated CSS partner support channel.

Yes. The advantage applies to both Performance Max and Standard Shopping – anything serving product listings in Google Shopping benefits from the removed margin.

You’re never locked to one CSS, but only one serves a given Merchant Center and Google shows whichever account performs best. So the clean, reliable way to capture the advantage is a straight CSS switch rather than splitting across accounts.

Yes. Manage as many webshops and countries as you like from one partner portal; billing is €18.99/month per Merchant Center account (excl. VAT), however many countries it covers. Multi-country and multi-store merchants run everything in one place.

Yes. KIPLAR CSS can be used as a standalone service while your own team or another partner continues managing the campaigns. If needed, KIPLAR can also manage the feed, Merchant Center and Google Shopping strategy alongside the CSS.

No long lock-in. Start with a 30-day free trial and cancel anytime – if KIPLAR isn’t right for you, switch back to Google’s CSS or another partner whenever you want.

The same 25% advantage every certified partner gets, at one of the lowest flat prices on the market, with a switch that needs no campaign rebuild, expert support, and full transparency – your accounts, your data, your campaigns. No commission on sales, no hidden fees.
