Local inventory ads will now be enabled by default in Shopping campaigns starting August 31, 2026.
Advertisers will need to utilize the new inventory filter instead of the removed local products setting for controlling these ads.
Users intending to separate online and local budgets should review their Shopping campaign settings promptly.
The new filter option will require selecting Channel = Local or Online to manage these inventories effectively.
Notifications apply to manager accounts linked to a Merchant Center account with the local inventory ads add-on enabled.
