To use Google’s store sales measurement, follow these steps in your Google Ads account.
In this article
- Ensure your Google Ads account is eligible for store sales measurement
- Contact your Google Ads representative
- Set up your store sales conversion action
- Find your business type and eligibility
Step 1: Check eligibility based on your business type
Store sales reporting is available to eligible retail, restaurants and Automotive OEM/regional deal groups. Additionally, please check the eligibility criteria.
Step 2: Contact your Google Ads representative
If your Google Ads account is eligible, the next step is to contact your Google Ads representative. Your Google Ads representative can then get your account registered for store sales measurement.
Advertisers who meet the eligibility criteria and are registered for store sales measurement should automatically receive store sales counts reporting and store sales value reporting based on the current default conversion value in their Google Ads account. If you’re interested in uploading hashed in-store transaction data to receive dynamic store sales values, learn more about account eligibility requirements.
Step 3: Set up the store sales conversion action
After you’re registered for automatic store sales counts data, you should see the “Store sales” conversion action within your Google Ads account.
When the “Store sales” conversion action is in your Google Ads account, we recommend that you edit the settings and update the default conversion value of the conversion action.
- In your Google Ads account, click the Goals icon
.
- Click the Conversions drop down in the section menu.
- Click Summary.
- Click New conversion action.
- Click Store sales.
- Select Store sales, and click Continue.
- Click the “Store sales” conversion action that you want to edit.
- Click Edit settings. You can now make changes to the “Store sales” conversion action.
- If you want to change the attribution model for the “Store sales” conversion action, click the Attribution model section, then choose Last click or Data-driven. The attribution model you choose determines how much credit each click gets for your conversions. Learn more about attribution models
- We recommend updating the default store sales value. To do this, click the Value section and update the value in the field. We recommend providing a value which reflects the average order value of your sales, as this will help provide better insights when evaluating store sales data.
- Note: If you’re receiving automatic store sales values, the default value won’t be used. If you’re uploading in-store transaction data, the default value will only be used if you stop uploading eligible in-store transaction data after a period of time.
If you want to upload in-store transaction data, you need to navigate to your Google Ads account to accept the store sales (uploads) customer data terms after your Google Ads account has been approved. Follow the steps below to read and accept the policy:
- In your Google Ads account, click the Goals icon
- Click the Conversions drop down in the section menu.
- Click Settings.
- Click and expand the ‘’Customer data terms’’ section to view and read the policies. Confirm that you can comply with the policies.
