Google Automated Discounts Program Eligibility
While Google's Automated Discounts program is available to all merchants, there are a few requirements that need to be met in order for a merchant to be accepted and to start receiving discounted prices from Google. We'll explore each of the requirements below and see how they can be fulfilled, and how our extensions can help you.To begin with, you'll need to be able to access the Automated Discounts tab in your Google Merchant Center account. If you can't see the tab, you'll need to apply for the Automated Discounts Program by filling out Google's dedicated form. Once you're approved, you'll be able to see the integration instructions in the Merchant account as well. Please note that your Merchant Account needs to have at least 1000 product clicks per week in order to be allowed to participate.
The next step is to ensure you have Google Ads Conversion Reporting with Cart Data set up and running. It's important to make sure that these conversions are not imported from Google Analytics or other sources. If you don't already have Google Ads Conversion Reporting with Cart Data set up, you can do so with our Google Analytics 4 PRO extension's Google Ads integration, which fully supports the Cart Data integration and sends conversions directly to Google Ads.
Once you're sure you meet the general eligibility requirements and have set up Google Ads Conversions with Cart Data, it's time to ensure your Product Feed is configured correctly. There are two attributes you're required to add to your feed: auto_pricing_min_price (the minimum price you're willing to let Google apply at the product level) and cost_of_goods_sold (the cost of each individual product that's opted in). Google recommends opting in at least 50% of the products in your feed to ensure the best results and reach the highest gains.
The last step of the process involves completing the URL Integration. Google will generate and provide special URL tokens (JSON Web Tokens) that will be appended to your store's URL when a user clicks on a Shopping ad. Your product page will then need to decode the data in the URL token and update the product price according to the information stored in the token (price, product ID, expiration dates), while also ensuring token signature validations are performed and that the token is consumed. Our extension automates this whole process and ensures every validation is performed, and that the product price is updated.
