Custom variables allow you to segment your conversion data by different groups (for example, by customer segment or by product category) for more detailed insights. In addition to receiving reporting for overall sales at the store sales conversion action level, you can create custom variables (as a subset of this conversion action) and upload transactions for those relevant segments to receive reporting at this additional granularity.
By creating a custom variable with your store sales conversion action in Google Ads, you can find out how a campaign or ad group drives a specific kind of sales transaction, such as sales of a product type or sales by a specific customer segment.
