    I want to deactivate the Jetpack plugin on my site because it seems to possibly be causing a conflict that results in the site error “A PHP session was created by a session_start() function call. This interferes with REST API and loopback requests. The session should be closed by session_write_close() before making any HTTP requests.”.

    However, I realized that the Google Listings & Ads plugin is connected to WordPress.com using Jetpack. Can I connect without using Jetpack? I haven’t been able to find this out so grateful for help.

    Hi @katrinb,

    As per the FAQ, Jetpack is not required to use Google Listings & Ads.

    If you have an existing Jetpack connection on your site, either via Jetpack itself or another extension like WooCommerce Payments or WooCommerce Shipping, Google Listings & Ads will use that connection.

    But it does require a WordPress.com account to initiate the connection, so if you had Jetpack installed when you set up the extension, it likely used that connection and did not create a new connection at the time.

    The simplest way to resolve this will be to activate Jetpack in its most basic setup to retain the connection.

    Otherwise, you can try to deactivate Jetpack and then disconnect your accounts to start the connection process over again.

    Best!
