Hello,

We are trying to figure out how to do view-though conversions using the Store Direct Upload Conversion tracker.

Here's what we tried doing:
  1. Running a Display campaign with impressions.
  2. Creating a Store Direct Upload Conversion tracker.
  3. Uploading a list of transactions complete with Email, Conversion Name (of the tracker in #2), Conversion Time, Conversion Value, and Conversion Currency.
We know that the upload was successful as seen here:

However, when we look in the UI we don't see it here:

We know we have checked view-through conversion to be count as displayed on the Conversions Settings page:

Here are the settings for the tracker as displayed in the UI:

I guess it's possible that none of the emails matched and that could be the reason that no conversions are showing up. However, I am doubtful because I have sat next to people while signed into their Gmail account and to say NONE of their accounts matched seems doubtful.

Our understanding is that the Store Direct Conversion Tracker automatically associates with a campaign unless we are missing a step.

Can you tell me what we're doing wrong or if we missed another step? Is there a way to retrieve these in the API (that aren't available in the UI).

We are posting here because we believe it's going to take a technical Google Developer to answer these questions. I am also happy to have a phone chat if this isn't the best way. Please let me know.

Thank you,
John

Hi John,

This cannot be obtained in the API if it's not available in the UI. To contact the UI experts, I'd recommend reaching out here.

This isn't really a question about UI vs API. We are not seeing view-through conversions on our Store Direct Upload tracker. If you could kindly answer:

1. Do view-through conversions work on Store Direct Upload trackers?
2. Are there any conditions that have to be met to show conversions on the Store Direct Upload tracker?

Thank you,
John

Hi John,

Since this is not API specific and more of the behavior of Google Ads, the product experts will be better suited to assist you.

How can we escalate this question to the product experts then? The link you provided here isn't particularly helpful unless I'm missing something. There's nothing that I can see from it where I can contact a Google Product Expert other than providing feedback

It would be great if you could point me in the direction of where I can fill out a form and receive a response from a Google Product Expert or perhaps an email address of an expert that I can contact.

Thank you for your help,
John
