Migration of Snapshot Reporting v1 Item Keyword and Item Health v2 to the Snapshot reports v2

Walmart Connect is migrating two reports to Snapshot reporting v2: Item Keyword and Item Health (which appears as “itemHealthv2” within Snapshot Reporting v1). This will help partners improve operational efficiency and drive business growth faster for them and their advertisers. This migration makes it easier to integrate with a single endpoint, allowing quick access to performance reporting, which can reduce extra effort and resources. Partners will be able to select which metrics they want to include, as with other Snapshot reporting v2.

These migrated reports are now in production in Snapshot Reporting v2.

With this migration of API reporting to v2, we plan to deprecate Snapshot Reporting v1 early next year. This means that any reports generated using v1 will no longer be available after the deprecation.

Enhancements to platform bidding strategy recommendations for Target ROAS are now available for sandbox testing. This includes the addition of new fields that can help you understand the potential incremental sales your advertiser may drive by accepting the recommendation, as well as a more optimal campaign daily budget:

Potential sales increase/week: the range (min – max) of the potential incremental sales we predict your campaign can generate if you apply our recommendation following the learning phase:
• “troasIncrementalSalesLower”
• “troasIncrementalSalesUpper”

Suggested daily budget: The recommended daily budget to set for the campaign to help maximize sales at the suggested ROAS target
