Google for WooCommerce
Compliance with EU Political Ads Regulation
In response to the European Union Political Ads Regulation, Google is implementing strict account-level enforcements for the Google Ads API and Google Ads scripts April 1, 2026. If you manage campaigns in the EU, you must update your plugin and campaign settings before the enforcement deadline to avoid service interruptions.
If a Google Ads account contains one or more undeclared campaigns, all “mutate” calls (creating or updating campaigns) will fail.
For technical implementation details, please refer to the Google Ads Developer Blog or reach out via the official Google Ads API support channels.
Google for WooCommerce makes it simple to connect your WooCommerce store to Google Merchant Center (GMC) so you can showcase your products to shoppers across Google Search, Shopping, Gmail, YouTube, and the Display Network to drive traffic and sales for your store, for free or with ads.
Once your accounts are synced and you meet eligibility requirements, you can list products on the Google Shopping tab for free, and create ad campaigns to reach more shoppers and grow your business.
Integrate with GMC to upload your store and product data to Google. Your products will sync automatically to make relevant information available for free listings, Google Ads, and other Google services. You can create a new Merchant Center account or link an existing account to connect your store and list products across Google.
