Cyprus is a euro market in the first 2026 launch wave. Get ready early so your Shopping ads run through The CSS Partner from the start, with up to 25% more bid power, because Google's margin of up to 20% no longer comes off your bid.
Shoppers search in Greek, and the alphabet is the whole point
Greek is the language of commerce in the Republic of Cyprus, and it is written in the Greek alphabet. A feed whose product titles are in English, or transliterated into Latin letters, will not match what buyers type.
Titles are the field Shopping matches hardest. Translate them properly into Greek even if you leave the descriptions automatic.
Tell us Cyprus matters, and we will tell you when it opens
Put Cyprus on the waitlist. One email about Cyprus, nothing else.
Delivery is the conversion problem, not the ad
Cyprus is an island at the far edge of the EU. Shipping cost and delivery time decide more sales here than bid strategy does, and both are visible to the buyer before they click through.
Put the real delivery promise in the feed. A Shopping ad that wins the auction and then shows a two-week estimate has bought an expensive bounce.
Set shipping per country in Merchant Center instead of inheriting one European rate, or your ads promise a delivery date you cannot meet.
What happens to the Founders price while you wait
The 30% Founders rate is capped at the first 50 customers across the whole programme, not per country, so it can close before Cyprus opens. Joining the waitlist puts you on the list we email the day it does, so you decide with the terms in front of you instead of finding out afterwards what changed.
Frequently asked
Which language should the feed be in?
Greek, in the Greek alphabet. English is widely used in Cypriot business, but shoppers search in Greek and titles are what Shopping matches.
Is Cyprus in the eurozone?
Yes, since 2008. Your euro price list works unchanged.
Can I reuse my Greek feed?
For language, largely yes. For shipping, availability and delivery time, no: those are the fields that make an island market different.
Is there a setup fee or a minimum contract?
No setup fee, and no lock-in: cancel from your portal whenever you like. You also have 60 days after going live to change your mind for a full refund, no questions asked.
Does the money-back guarantee apply once this opens?
Yes, on the same terms as every live market: 60 days from going live to change your mind, no questions asked.
Does this work if I already run Performance Max, not just standard Shopping?
Yes. The bid-power effect applies to the Shopping portion of a PMax campaign specifically; the rest of the campaign runs exactly as before, because the switch happens in Merchant Center, not inside the campaign itself.
Is there a limit on how many shops I can add?
No. Pricing is per shop with an automatic volume discount from five shops, calculated from your total. Adding more shops later just recalculates that total; it does not require a new agreement.
Who do I actually talk to if something needs fixing?
A real person on our side, not an anonymous ticket queue. Support, billing and cancellation are all handled from the same portal you use to add a shop.
Does the switch pause my ads while Google processes it?
No. Your ads keep running the entire time, under whichever CSS is currently submitting them, until the new one is confirmed. There is no gap in coverage.
Is my data shared with anyone new by switching?
No. A CSS only submits the ad your Merchant Center feed already builds; it does not see your website, your customers or any data beyond what Merchant Center already exposes to any authorised party.
