Configure Retail Media settings

Only retailers can access settings specific to advertisements and campaigns. They can manage settings from their Retail Media dashboard.

Specifically, retailers can:

  • Choose to allow or disallow ads for specific search queries, on specific browse pages, and for specific recommendation pods.
  • Set the minimum cost per click (CPC) for all campaigns, regardless of advertiser.
  • Set the minimum CPC for specific queries, browse pages, and recommendation pods, such as top-performing queries or pods, or seasonal categories.

Allow or disallow ads for specific results pages and pods

  1. Select Workspace in the side menu of the Constructor dashboard, then select Retail Media.
  2. Select the Settings tab at the top of the page.
  3. Choose the context (e.g., Browse, Search, Recommendation Pods, etc.) where you wish to allow/disallow ads by selecting the corresponding tab at the top of the listing.
  4. Locate the Allow ads column.
  5. If you wish to allow ads for a specific browse page/query/pod, turn on the Allow ads toggle for that context. Toggles appear green when on.
    • Note: If allowing ads for a recommendation, you will be prompted to assign the pod a name that will appear for advertisers in their dashboard. Enter the name in the field provided, then select Enable Pod.
  6. If you do not wish to allow ads for a specific browse category, turn off the Allow ads toggle for that category. Toggles appear white when turned off.

Constructor automatically saves and applies any toggle changes.
