Values for Percentage Margin and Actual Margin can be included in Feed Specifications for return in Feeds. This provides bid optimization in Google Shopping ad campaigns.
Sales Rank
The IRP can interpret a value into the final output of feeds for a Sales Rank. This allows best-selling products to be identified.
Offer Status
Google Shopping Feed Specifications in IRP have the ability to include the Offer Status of each individual item as a Custom Label. Custom Labels are an excellent way of grouping and optimizing Google Shopping Ad Campaigns.
