No, you do not need your own Google Merchant Center account to get started with Google Product Listings or a Google Shopping campaign. If you do not have a Google Merchant Center account to import for your Kliken campaigns, we will automatically help create and set up one for you. This will require website verification for where your products are hosted in your online store.
You can only claim your website in 1 Google Merchant Center account at a time, so please import your own Google Merchant Center account if you have already verified your website previously.
If you later decide to you need a Google Merchant Center account outside of the Kliken platform, you should create a new Google Merchant Center account.
