Frequently asked questions

Microsoft Shopping Campaigns run on Bing and Microsoft's network — MSN, Outlook, partner sites. The ad format is very similar to Google Shopping. Microsoft Merchant Center is equivalent to Google Merchant Center. The key difference is the audience — Microsoft reaches users who don't use Google, often with higher household income.
Not necessarily. Microsoft Merchant Center can process Google Shopping XML and offers direct Google Merchant Center import. Trajekt generates a single feed working for both, or separate feeds for platform-specific optimisations.
Required: id, title, description, link, price, image_link, and availability. Same as Google's core required fields. Recommended: brand, condition, product_type, gtin, and mpn.
Microsoft offers organic product listings in the Bing Shopping tab at no cost. With a valid Merchant Center feed and approved store, products appear in free Shopping tab results without ad spend.
Go to ads.microsoft.com, create a Microsoft Advertising account, then Tools > Microsoft Merchant Center > Create Store. Verify your website, add a feed under Products > Feeds, choose Scheduled fetch, enter your Trajekt URL.
Yes. Microsoft Merchant Center accepts Google Shopping XML format. You can provide the same feed URL used for Google Merchant Center.

Upload product feed to Microsoft Merchant Center, create a Shopping campaign in Microsoft Advertising, set bids. Microsoft matches products to search queries. Performance Max campaigns also use the Merchant Center feed.
Yes. Microsoft Shopping supports custom_label_0 through custom_label_4, identical to Google. Use them for bid segmentation — high-margin products, clearance items, seasonal categories.

Yes — especially for higher-value products. The lower CPC and higher-income audience often delivers better ROI than Google for certain product categories. Free listings provide additional value with no extra cost.
