Conversions in Shopping Performance Report

[API Developer]

Hi,

Can you confirm why it is not possible to include both the ConversionTrackerId and the Conversions fields in the Shopping Performance report?  

I appreciate that it is possible to use the AllConversions metric, but I am struggling to understand the reasoning for making the estimated figure available, but not the actual conversions figure. The estimated figures appears to allow Google considerable license in taking credit for a conversion, with scope to change the rules for estimating conversions at any point in the future.

Regards.

John

Hello John,

Sometimes, when a segment field like ConversionTrackerId is used, it results in significantly increasing numbers of rows for a result, thereby affecting the overall performance of reporting system.

That's why in some cases, a certain field is prohibited to be used with such a segment field.

To confirm if this is the case for Conversions and ConversionTrackerId as well, I need to consult with engineering team first.

I will get back to you later when I get updates.

Cheers,

Hello John,

Very sorry for this late response.

The incompatibility between Conversions and ConversionTrackerId was removed for a couple of months ago.

Just would like to update this thread anyway, so anyone who stumbles upon this post can get the latest info.

Best,
