Minimum requirements
You'll need to meet the below requirements to display your product. If you don't follow these requirements, we'll disapprove your product and let you know in your Merchant Center account.
- If you don’t specify a destination by including a supported value in your data source, your promotion will display in Shopping ads and free listings by default.
- The
[free_listings]value is only available in the US, and requires an approved offer for free listings.
Best practices
These best practices can help you go beyond the basic requirements to optimize your product data for performance.
- We recommend offers submitted via a promotions data source be in a structured format to help ensure faster approval.
- To submit your promotion to more than one destination, submit each destination value as a separate column.
