Google Automated Discounts

Automated Discounts — The turbo for your business

Automated discounts are intelligently calculated price reductions that respond to specific product searches in real time. Using numerous parameters, the optimal price for a user at the time of the search query is calculated and displayed via Google Shopping ads. Instead of manually creating repricing strategies, Google AI automatically works in the background to maximize sales, strengthen customer loyalty, and drastically increase efficiency.

What do I need that for?

Are you changing your prices manually? Still?

It is Wednesday, 15:00. Your warehouse is full, your click prices and advertising costs are increasing without generating conversions — but you hesitate to take action. You don't want to lose too much margin. So you're waiting. It's too long.

Stop the guesswork

Wouldn't it be nice to have a cost-effective solution that automatically recognizes when, for whom and to what extent discounts make sense? Which manages discounts based on data and produces measurable results? Never to give discounts in the blue again — but to be able to set smart, AI-calculated prices adapted to the situation and users?

The solution: Automated Discounts

Google Automated Discounts is an AI-powered solution that allows you to apply dynamic discounts to your products advertised on Google Shopping. Various factors such as product demand, price elasticity, competition and seasonal trends are taken into account in order to determine the optimal selling price and thus maximize gross profit. The discounted prices are automatically displayed in the shopping ads. The repricing.com plugin ensures that the discounted prices are set for the user after clicking on the ad in the shop frontend.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Here we answer specific questions about Google Automated Discounts You can find more FAQs on the homepage and the subpages about our other solutions.

What are the basic requirements for using Automated Discounts?

You'll need a Google Ads and Google Merchant Center account. Both accounts must be approved and active. The Merchant Center must have active products, which should have a GTIN (EAN). Your products must also be promoted via Google's free product listings or shopping ads.

How do I select the products to activate in Automated Discounts?

To activate products for automatic discounts, you must maintain two attributes in your Merchant Center's product data feed: cost price (cost_of_goods_sold/COGS) and minimum price (auto_pricing_min_price) for each participating product. Only products for which a value is transmitted in the Minimum Price and Cost Price attributes participate in Automated Discounts. The cost price is needed so that the discounts calculated by AI do not jeopardize your profitability. The cost price (COGS) must be lower than the minimum price and be between 5-95% of the current price. These two attributes must be provided for at least 20% of the impressions of your total inventory in Merchant Center.

Wie wähle ich die Produkte für die Aktivierung in Automated Discounts Pro / Independent aus?

Bei diesen beiden Versionen können die Attribute Selbstkostenpreis (cost_of_goods_sold / COGS) und Mindestpreis (auto_pricing_min_price) von dir im Merchant Center bereitgestellt werden. repricing.com validiert die Produkte, die du im Account über eine Dynamische Produktgruppe für Automated Discounts ausgewählt hat. Falls bei allen oder einigen ausgewählten Produkten ein (oder beide) Attribute fehlt bzw. die Daten fehlerhaft sind, wird dies angezeigt. Du hast dann die Möglichkeit die Daten in deinem bestehenden Feed zu ergänzen / zu korrigieren. Alternativ kannst du fehlende oder falsche Daten auch im Account hinzufügen oder korrigieren.  Dafür werden Feed-Regeln angeboten. Beispiel: COGS kann berechnet werden als prozentualer Anteil des Verkaufspreises, der Mindestpreis kann berechnet werden als prozentualer Aufschlag auf den Selbskostenpreis. Die so erstellten Attributwerte werden dann von repricing.com automatisch per Merchant API in dein Merchant Center hochgeladen, dort ergänzen sie den bestehenden Haupt-Feed.

How can I measure the success of automated discounts?

To get data on the performance of automatic discounts, you need to use advanced conversion tracking in the shop. The repricing.com plugin can automatically generate this advanced conversion tracking with shopping cart data (cWCD) and place it in the shop. It is necessary to record conversions via native Google Ads Tracking; imported conversions from other tools, such as Google Analytics, cannot be used for automated discounts. Based on this extended tracking, you will find daily updated performance data on the success of automatic discounts in the Google Merchant Center.

Wie kann ich den Erfolg von Automated Discounts bei Verwendung der Pro Version messen?

Um Daten zur Leistung der automatischen Rabatte zu erhalten, musst du ein erweitertes Conversion Tracking im Shop verwenden. Das repricing.com-Plugin kann dieses erweiterte Conversion Tracking mit Warenkorbdaten (CwCD) automatisch generieren und im Shop platzieren. Es ist erforderlich Conversions über natives Google Ads Tracking zu erfassen, aus anderen Tools, z. B. Google Analytics, importierte Conversions können für Automated Discounts nicht verwendet werden. Auf Basis dieses erweiterten Trackings findest du täglich aktualisierte Leistungsdaten zum Erfolg der automatischen Rabatte im Google Merchant Center und in den Dashboards und Produktlisten deines repricing.com-Kontos.

How do I activate Google Automated Discounts for my store?

If you meet the basic requirements above, you can activate automatic discounts in your Google Merchant Center:
1. Log in to Merchant Center
2. In the main menu on the left, select “Marketing” and open the “Automatic Discounts” tab. If you don't see the “Automatic Discounts” tab, open the “Settings & Tools” section (accessible via the gear icon in the top right corner). In the Add-ons section, search for “Automated Discounts” and click “Set Up” or “Activate.”
3. As soon as the program is active in the Merchant Center, you can download the Repricing.com plugin and install it in the shop backend.

Which shop systems does repricing.com support with a plugin for automated discounts?

We are also working on a pro version of the plugins for all of the above shop systems, which will provide extended functionalities in conjunction with a repricing.com account.
