Canvas Product List

Only E-commerce and travel hotel vertical catalogs are currently supported.

Reading

A product list inside the canvas

Select a product catalog and then manually provide the product ID, name and color variations to promote in a collection's ad creative. Use this option if you or your advertiser does not want to set-up a product set from a catalog feed. This option makes creating of ads from product catalog simpler. Note that we do not save selected products as a product set for later reuse.

Use this option to select which item colors you want to show in an ad and control the order products appear. Because this is a manual ordering, we do not dynamically rank or display products based on popularity or relevancy to each viewer.
