How should we advise sellers to allocate budget between Sponsored Max and Mega Sales Accelerator (MSA) during campaign periods?

Use Sponsored Max – Store to maintain consistent store performance and optimize for your return goals. Add Mega Sales Accelerator (MSA) during mega campaigns to boost short-term visibility and sales. Together, they help you balance performance and exposure.

Do sellers have to pause the Sponsored Discovery Automated Campaign, or pause all Sponsored Discovery campaigns if they want to create a Sponsored Max – Store?

When sellers create Sponsored Max – Store the system will pause all Sponsored Discovery campaigns (MSA excluded) with sellers’ confirmation. However, sellers can remove products from the Sponsored Max – Store and create a separate Sponsored Discovery campaign for the removed products.

Does the suggested ROAS/ROI in Sponsored Max – Store reflect a seller’s average ROAS/ROI in Sponsored Discovery? What happens if sellers don’t follow the suggestion?

The Target ROAS/ROI is customized based on your past performance. If you set a much higher target than recommended, your ads may not get enough traffic, reducing sales potential.
