Liechtenstein is an EEA market in the first 2026 wave that uses the Swiss franc. Get set up early so up to 25% more bid power applies from day one, because Google's margin of up to 20% no longer comes off your bid.
The smallest market on the list, by a wide margin
Liechtenstein has around 40,000 residents. No Shopping strategy is built for this country alone, and any honest plan treats it as an addition to a German-language campaign rather than a market of its own.
We are saying that plainly because the alternative is a page that pretends a country of 40,000 deserves its own budget line.
If you already ship to Switzerland, adding Liechtenstein is close to a country setting: same currency, same customs union, same language.
If you do not, it is a customs project for a market of 40,000 people, and the honest answer is that it should wait until something else makes Switzerland worth doing.

Swiss franc, Swiss customs, European rules
Liechtenstein uses the Swiss franc and sits in a customs union with Switzerland, while being a member of the EEA rather than the EU. That combination is unusual and it is the part that costs merchants time.
In practice: your prices need to be in francs, your shipping and customs handling follow the Swiss arrangement, and the EEA membership is what brings the country into scope for the CSS programme in the first place.
Operationally it behaves like Switzerland; legally it follows EEA rules. Neither your EU setup nor your Swiss one covers it on its own.
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 Liechtenstein 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
How big is the market?
About 40,000 people. It is by some distance the smallest market on this list, and it makes sense as an extension of a Swiss or Austrian setup rather than a project of its own.
Which currency do I price in?
The Swiss franc. If you already run a Swiss price list it transfers directly; if you only sell inside the EU, this is a new list to maintain rather than a conversion.
Which language?
German. A German feed works here without translation, which makes the language side of this market the simplest on the whole list.
Am I locked into anything by switching?
No. There is no contract length and no setup cost, and inside the first 60 days you can get a full refund without giving a reason.
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.
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.
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.
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.
