Beta feature

This feature is currently in beta and may change. We encourage your feedback to help refine it.

Companion products component allows brands to select an ordered list of shoppable products along with the banner. You can render these in your banner, enabling the ability for your customers to shop directly in the banner. This can lead to increase banner interaction and uplift of CTR.

Specifications

• The products available for the Companion Products section are limited to those selected during the previous Products campaign creation stage.
• The required number of companion products can be specified for each slot.
• Companion products can be sorted in the desired order when creating campaigns, which will be maintained in the ad response.

Integrate companion products

Companion products allow brands to select an ordered list of shoppable products with the banner.

Before you integrate

• Update the parsing method for new fields in the banner X response to support the companion products.
• When integrating companion products along with the video ads, select or integrate your chosen video player into your site or mobile app.
• Fields for adding video ads and companion products will populate only for campaigns with video and product companions configured. The activation happens only after the integration is completed.
• Update your previewer to render the new companion product and video capabilities.

Example ad response for companion products

When campaigns have companion products configured, you will see the companionProducts object returned.
