How in-store attribution process works?

In-store attribution data is exclusively available to retailers who have integrated First Party Cookies. Retailers must supply offline sales data through a separate data feed. Retailers must supply offline sales data through a separate data feed. This may already be in place through your existing offsite integration.

Validate system compatibility

  • Check IDs: Make sure the tracking IDS from online ads match those in offline sales records.
  • Review SKU Mapping: Ensure product codes in your online catalog correspond with those in offline sales files.
  • Confirm FPC Data: Verify that FPC data has been ingested correctly and is ready for attribution.

After validation is complete, the Epsilon Retail Media team collects and shares the data, then configures the necessary systems.
