Line Items

Each campaign consists of one or several line items. With the Criteo retail media API, you can run an ad only after creating a campaign and at least one line item.

A line item is where you will select the products and the retailer you want to advertise. Each line item can consist of multiple featured products but can only run across one retailer. You will need to create multiple line items to run across multiple retailers.

Several line item settings also help you spend your budget wisely and optimize delivery.

To see all of your existing line items, please refer to line items settings
