Managing sponsored product campaigns

You might decide to make some adjustments after creating a campaign. You can pause, delete, or edit your campaign.

Sponsored product campaigns page

You can manage campaigns on the Sponsored product campaigns page. To open this page—

1. Click Campaigns from the menu on the top-left side of the screen.

2. Select Sponsored product from the dropdown in the top left corner to go to the Sponsored product campaigns page.
   

Campaign statuses

Ads manager shows campaign statuses on the Sponsored product campaigns page.

 Campaign statuses and definitions—

The campaign status, ad group status, and sponsored product status must all be active in order for the ad to show on Instacart. Learn more about ad group statuses and sponsored product ad statuses.

Pause campaign

Pausing a campaign pauses all of its ad groups. This prevents all sponsored products in the campaign from bidding on keywords and appearing on Instacart.

You can pause and unpause a campaign at any time by clicking the toggle next to its name on the Sponsored product campaigns page. 

Delete campaign

You can delete a campaign to remove it from your Sponsored products campaigns page. Deleting a campaign also deletes its ad groups, sponsored products, and keywords.

You can’t delete active or scheduled campaigns, but you can pause them (see section above).

Once you delete a campaign, you can’t restore it, export its data, or view its ad groups, sponsored products or keywords.

To delete a campaign—

1. Select the campaign(s) you want to delete on the Sponsored product campaigns page.

2. Click Delete.
