Line Items

Overview

Each campaign consists of one or more line items. You can only run ads after creating a campaign and at least one line item.

A line item allows you to select the products and the retailer where you'd like to advertise. Each line item can include multiple featured products but is restricted to a single retailer. To advertise across multiple retailers, you must create separate line items for each.

Several settings are available to help you manage your budget and optimize ad delivery effectively.

With the Criteo API, you can:

• 💼 Manage your retail media line items

• 💸 Configure line items, including budgets, flight dates, bids (for Onsite Sponsored Products), and targeting options (for Preferred Deals)

• 📃 Retrieve products from your product catalog to advertise
