CSS stands for “Comparison Shopping Service”. A CSS is simply a website that displays a range of products from different eCommerce retailers. A visitor to a “CSS” site, will be able to compare products from different retailers – then click through to a retailer’s site to make a purchase.
Google introduced the CSS partner scheme in response to the finding by the European Commission, that Google’s Shopping service was breaching anti-trust rules and distorting the market. A key issue was that Google had been promoting its own shopping comparison service ahead of its competitors.
To remedy this, Google has invited other CSS publishers to appear in the Shopping results, with the option to click through to their shopping comparison sites. You may have seen the effect of this already, as Shopping Ads will now include “By Google” or by another “publisher” such as “By Productcaster”, “By Redbrain” or “By aisle3”.
By default, all Google Shopping accounts will use Google’s own CSS. (If your shopping Ads display as “by Google” this means you are using the default setting). Google charges an estimated 20% premium for using their CSS; so by switching away from the default and using a different provider – you can effectively save this spend. As mentioned above, this “saving”, should instantly improve your profitability or allow you to increase your traffic for no additional cost.
Different CSS partners have their own billing models, from a flat rate to a percentage of spend or conversion value. As mentioned above, if you choose to work with us, we currently offer a free set-up with a CSS Partner: allowing you to avoid the normal CSS partner fees, whilst enjoying the benefits of the CSS discount.
