Introduction
In addition to Google Shopping price data, which is crawled on the basis of the product EAN (GTIN), emarketing offers you prices calculated by Google as a further source of price comparison data. Based on performance data and numerous other parameters, Google calculates a recommended price for your products. In addition, a forecast is provided for the development of clicks, ad impressions and sales (conversions) for each product to which you apply Google's recommended price. This data is obtained from your Google Merchant Center via API and can then be used for automatic repricing.
In order for emarketing to collect and use the data for you, you must complete the following steps:
