DELETE DATA FEEDS

Delete Options in Advertiser Product Settings

At the advertiser level, you have two options to delete your data feed and remove products: “Delete Product Feed” and “Delete All”. Learn how each option works and choose the one that best suits your needs.

Delete Product Feed

You can select this deletion option if you wish to delete the product inventory generated by the data feed configured in the “Advertiser Product Settings”. 

What You Can Expect with This Option:

• Immediately delete the data feed configuration from “Advertiser Product Settings” and “Product Settings” for all campaigns using the advertiser products.
• Only products created with data feed set in “Advertiser Product Settings” will be immediately removed from the advertiser’s product inventory. There are no longer any products available for all campaigns that use advertiser product inventory rather than using their own campaign-specific product inventory.
• If you have campaigns that use their own campaign-specific products created with campaign-specific data feed configurations, those campaigns maintain their own data feed configurations and products. Campaign-specific products will continue to appear on the “Advertiser Products” list page unless the data configuration is removed from the campaign’s product settings. 

NOTE: Product Costs

If 0 products are displayed on the “Advertiser Products” page after deletion, product costs will be incurred up to and including the day of deletion, and no further product costs will be incurred after that. If campaign-specific products appear in the “Advertiser Products” list, you will continue to incur product costs for those products.

Delete All

You can select this option if you no longer want to use your product data and incur product costs across all campaigns created by an advertiser.

What You Can Expect with This Option:

• Immediately delete an advertiser’s data feed configuration and its associated products, as well as configuration and products for all campaigns within that advertiser
• You will incur product costs up to and including the day of deletion. Following that, no further product costs will be incurred from the advertiser and its campaigns

How to Delete Data Feeds at the Advertiser Level

Access the “Advertiser Products Settings” page by clicking “Products” in the advertiser drop-down menu in the header.

On the “Advertiser Products” page, click “Settings” on the left to open the “Advertiser Products Settings” page.

Choose a delete option and click the “Delete Product Feed’ or the “Delete All” button at the top right of the “Advertiser Product Settings “ page.

A warning message appears when you click each of these buttons. Please read this message carefully and click the red delete button to delete the data feed and remove products from the advertiser.

Clicking the delete button will immediately delete the data feed configurations and products, depending on the deletion option selected.

Advertiser Products

You can regenerate your advertiser product inventory at any time by re-adding the data feed from the “Advertiser Product Settings” page.

Delete Data Feeds and Products at the Campaign Level

If you want to create products for use only in a specific campaign, you can start your data feed configuration by selecting the “Add and use products for this campaign only” option on the “Campaign Product Settings” page. Adding products on the campaign level means that products will only be accessible from within this campaign that you are creating.

What Happens When Deleting the Data Feed at the Campaign Level

Deleting a data feed at the campaign level will only result in the deletion of the data feed configuration set up for a specific campaign and products associated with that campaign only. This removal does not affect the data feed set at the advertiser level and advertiser products being used for other campaigns.

• Campaign-specific products are not only displayed in the campaign’s product list, but are also displayed in the product list of the advertiser in which the campaign was created.
• Campaign-specific products are included in the advertiser’s product cost calculation, but can only be used in the campaign in which they were created. 
• When a data feed deletion occurs at the campaign level, the products associated with that feed are removed from the advertiser product list and the total number of advertiser products is reduced.

How to Delete Data Feed at the Campaign Level

Access the “Campaign Products Settings” page by clicking “Product Data” in the campaign drop-down menu in the header or the “Product Data” tab in the footer.

Make sure your data is configured to “Continue using products only for this campaign” and that your data feed and products are specific to this campaign. Once everything is verified, click the “Delete Product Feed’ button on the right.

Read the warning message carefully in the pop-up and click the red delete button when you are ready to delete the data feed configuration and products used only for this campaign.

Clicking the delete button will immediately delete the data feed configurations and products for the campaign.
