Summary
After running a Shopping campaign, you can use reports to measure the
performance of an account, campaign, or ad group.
Reports have metrics like total clicks, click-through rate (CTR), and
total conversions (purchases). Analyzing reports can help you make
improvements to your campaigns.
You can view report data directly in the following UIs:
If you have access to an account through a Google Ads manager account,
sign in to the manager account then select the Google Ads account.
Select the Campaigns tab.
Select the Shopping campaign you want to see a report for.
For metrics like Conversions, it may take longer to see the
results of certain types of conversions.
In the Ad groups tab, select the Columns button.
Choose the option Conversions, then the Conversions checkbox.
Click APPLY.
Select the
button and click Schedule.
Download this report.
For more detailed control of report creation, use the Report Editor.

data for all Google Ads resources. This includes everything from an entire
campaign to a set of keywords that triggered your ad.
