Google Local Shopping Criteria & Policies

[CMcMullen]

Under the criteria for Google Local Shopping it says 'You must have a Google Merchant Center account for online listings...'. We have 10 brick and mortar locations and on our website, you can view the  products, descriptions, & prices but we do not have e-commerce functionality. Do you know if e-commerce functionality is a requirement for setting up a Merchant Center account for local product listings?

If not, then I could set-up a data feed for online product listings and be on my merry way but if so, that's a lot of leg work if we will just end up getting rejected.

Thanks for you help!
