How to list for free on Google Shopping Czechia?

In 2020 Google transitioned their Google Shopping Ads platform from a mainly paid service to a global ecommerce ecosystem that enables any merchant to sell their products anywhere for free.

It’s now free to list on Google Shopping in the US, the UK, EU, Asia and Latin American markets. By selling internationally in markets such as Czechia, merchants not only open up their business to more buyers than ever before, but it also enables them to move away and ahead of their domestic competition.

We compared the Google Shopping traffic of several merchants; after the US launch of free visibility in April 2020 and then, after the international launch in October 2020:

  • In the US, merchants saw a massive influx of free clicks growing to 10%-25% of total clicks.
  • After October global launch, merchants could see their unpaid clicks quickly grow to 8-15% of total clicks in less than a month.
  • Learn more about the impact of free listings on international Google Shopping.

How do I qualify for free Google Shopping in Czechia?

Whilst it is now free to list items, there are still criteria that needs to be met in order for merchants to qualify, and just like paid ads if they do not meet 100% of the requirements then they will not be eligible to be shown in the shopping tab.

To qualify for the free Google Shopping Ads in Czechia, you need to first create a Czechian feed and then opt into their program. To do this you need to localise your website and your listings for the Czechian market, to ensure that you meet the criteria set by Google to sell onto the Czechian market.

To set up your Czechian feed, you will need to:

  • Translate and localize your landing page and product details so they meet Google’s Czechian requirements.
  • Convert product currencies into Czech Koruna (CZK) and make sure your checkout accepts Czech Koruna (CZK) payments.
  • Enable international shipping through a global carrier. International shipping prices for the Czechian market will have to be included in your Czechian product feed. See more details.
  • If your Czechian product pages are hosted on a separated domain, you’ll need to setup a multi-client account that will allow you to submit data feeds for multiple domains. Each client may have a distinct store name and URL. When you request a multi-client account, your current Google Merchant Center account will become a sub-account in your new multi-client account. See more details.
  • Once your website is fully localised, upload your product feed for the Czechian market to your Merchant Center.

Why do you need to localize product ads?

Localization is extremely important for cross-border trade. Not only does it ensure your international listings get traffic but that your store can start to convert international buyers at the checkout. They expect a shopping experience similar to if they were to shop domestically, and providing them with a localized experience leads to an increased checkout conversion.

You’ll need to adapt your listings and store to the Czechian market. This includes product descriptions in Chechen, correct local sizes, prices in Czech Koruna (CZK) and with common Czechian methods of payment.

Adopting your feed, listings and store for the Czechian market will not only dramatically increase your international transactions, but also increase the average transaction value. Learn more about Glopal’s free product ads localisation solution.

Don’t have a Czechian store?

If you don’t have a Czechian store you can still benefit from Google Shopping Ads, but you will need to address the following:

Language: Chechen version. Your store must have a Czechian version and your product feed that you submit to the merchant center for Google Shopping Ads should also point to the Czechian version.

Currency: The prices in your product feed must be in Czech Koruna (CZK).

Prices: Your landing pages, product pages and checkout must show the same currency that you use in the feed. For example, if you submit a feed with Czech Koruna (CZK) then all the prices on your site must also be in Czech Koruna (CZK).

Shipping: All shipping prices must also be in Czech Koruna (CZK).

Taxes: Where possible include local duties and taxes to ensure smooth and quick delivery of your products to Czechia.

Legal: Ensure your site is fully compliant with Local Czechian ecommerce Terms of Service and Returns policies.

Checkout: You’ll need to have a checkout that can process payment in Czech Koruna (CZK).
