Hi John, After a bit of digging, I found out that you shouldn't need to make any changes at all to the partition tree, as the system should automatically avoid bidding on items that have been marked as out of stock. I'll double-check this for you, though, and try to find out whether there's any

If I set the bid to zero I get a BiddingErrors.INVALID_BID error. Do I need to set anything else? My original question however was is it correct that deleted partition objects are store in the underlying system as the old style Product criteria with suitable conditions set, which leads onto, is

I'll try that, but I thought I had a RANGE_ERROR.TOO_LOW when I did this before. Thanks John On Wednesday, September 10, 2014 11:44:47 AM UTC+1, Sérgio Gomes (Shopping API Team) wrote: > > Hi John, > > I'm not entirely sure if this is what you're asking, but if you simply set > the bids to ze

Hi John, I'm not entirely sure if this is what you're asking, but if you simply set the bids to zero, that will disable any bidding on that BiddableAdGroupCriterion. This is, as Chuck suggested, a much better solution than removing and re-adding nodes to the partition tree as products go out o

Instead of removing the partitions, why not just disable the bids on them ? This way when they come back on you wont need to rebuild the whole tree On Tuesday, September 9, 2014 6:36:22 AM UTC-4, m...@kickstone.co.uk wrote: > > > As a follow up to the above, it looks like the enabled products ar

As a follow up to the above, it looks like the enabled products are also listed as Product criterion, it does indeed look as though google are mapping the new shoping partitions to the old style product entries behind the scenes, perhaps explains why the interface is so clunky and awkward, for

I have a shopping campaign with a tree containing a number of products explicitly listed by their offerId, which is all fine. As these products go out of stock/get discontinued, etc I automatically remove them from adwords which all looks good as well. However I've just noticed that these "remo
