Marketing & Growth

You will find the feature UTM Tracking Parameters in this section. More details about it on Google Merchant can be found HERE.

The feature adds tags to your product URLs for tracking traffic source, campaign, and ad performance for Google Shopping. They provide detailed insights in Google Analytics, helping you identify which shopping ads or products generate the most conversions.

Enter a suitable value in each field below:

• Campaign: Identifies a specific ad campaign. For example: holiday_sale, summer_promo.

• Medium: Identifies the method or pathway that led a buyer to your website. For example: shopping, paid_search.

• Source: Identifies where the traffic came from. For example: google_shopping.

The product URL will be formatted based on your input. Here is an example of how it will appear once applied:

https://www.yourstore.com/products/cupcake-apron?utm_source=google_shopping&utm_medium=paid_search&utm_campaign=holiday_sale

The setting only applies to new listings added to the LitCommerce Google Merchant channel following the configuration. To apply the setting to existing listings, use Update To Google Merchant.
