Google Shopping features
Unlike Google Ads search campaigns that use keyword bidding, Google Shopping is managed by product-level and category-level offers. Product offers are made using Google Ads sign-in,while data feeds are sent through Google Merchant Center sign-in.
It was previously known as Google Product Search,Google Products and Froogle. The URL Froogle.com still exists, although it now redirects to the current Google Shopping platform.The service originally listed products presented by sellers for free and made its money from AdWords-based ads on the page side. However, this changed when the product was renamed Google Shopping in 2012, becoming a paid service.
