Canadian taxonomy missing for Product Groups

[HK]

Hi, guys

I apologize if I have missed something obvious, but I'm not seeing the Canadian taxonomy in the AdWords UI or via the APIs for Product Groups. I can create a Shopping Campaign with Country of Sale set to Canada, but when I later go to subdivide the All Products product group, "Category" does not show up as an option. The other dimensions are there however.

With the mandatory switch-over to Shopping Campaigns only 6 days away, I'm hoping it will be available within the next couple days so that we are start testing.

Unrelated, but I'll throw it in here. For the US, "Shower Enclosures" is showing up with two different category IDs (-3658200340699135554 and 2429746971365583318) for the same level (BIDDING_CATEGORY_L5) and the same parent (3472290827419987736). I assume that not the intention. So far, I've only seen this for the US, and not GB for example.

Thanks,
Hans

Hi Hans,

Category bidding is a new feature (not present in PLAs) which is not yet available in all markets, hence why you're not able to see any results for Canada. You should still be able to create campaigns with other dimensions, though, including the user-defined product type.

Cheers,

Sérgio
