To improve clarity, CSS participation policies are being streamlined. The following requirements are now consolidated for CSSs:
Minimum Requirements: These now include compliance with modified versions of Shopping ads and free listings policies. See the updated minimum requirements document for full details.
Shopping ads and free listings policies: Minor wording adjustments have been made to these policies to reduce confusion for CSSs (e.g., replacing "merchant" with broader terminology). Review the updated policies for specific changes.
CSS product data specifications and CSS product page requirements remain in effect and haven't been changed.
