Microsoft Shopping integration
FeedOps is a managed Microsoft Merchant Center integration for Australian ecommerce teams. We connect, prepare and maintain product data for Microsoft Shopping, Performance Max and eligible Audience Ads.
Prepare, sync and manage your catalogue for Microsoft.
Extend campaigns that already work
The product data and campaign approach you already use can be extended to Microsoft with a simple, channel-specific setup—opening access to audiences you may not otherwise reach.

The Microsoft expansion opportunity
One Microsoft Merchant Center catalogue can support product discovery across Microsoft’s search, shopping and audience ecosystem.
Get your products in front of more shoppers across Microsoft
Merchant Center product data powers visual Product Ads with titles, images, prices, availability, ratings and promotions. Approved products can be grouped using brand, category, product type, item ID and custom labels.
Use one goal-led campaign across eligible Microsoft inventory. The product catalogue supplies retail information while Microsoft automation combines signals, assets and bidding to find conversion opportunities.
Approved Merchant Center offers are eligible for unpaid Product Listings in Bing’s shopping experience. They complement paid campaigns and depend on product approval and Microsoft policy compliance.
Reach more people and create new demand across Microsoft
Use catalogue information for product-led prospecting and dynamic remarketing beyond conventional shopping searches, including relevant products a customer viewed, considered or may be likely to buy.
Eligible advertising and shopping experiences can extend across Bing, Copilot, MSN, Microsoft Start, Outlook and Edge. The exact surface depends on campaign type, settings, market and current availability.
Microsoft positions Merchant Center product truth and richer commerce attributes as foundations for product visibility in Copilot. Transactional features such as Copilot Checkout remain market- and eligibility-dependent.
Campaign inventory and availability vary by campaign type, settings and market. Verify current details in Microsoft Advertising’s official Shopping campaigns and Performance Max documentation.
Potential Microsoft reach
Microsoft Advertising combines high-intent search and shopping with native, display, audience and Copilot inventory. Feed-enabled campaigns can use different eligible parts of this network to reach people while they research, compare and buy.
1B+Microsoft says Performance Max can reach its high-value audience of more than one billion people across the Microsoft Advertising Network.

Microsoft Performance Max can use search, shopping, native, display, audience and other eligible Microsoft surfaces, including Copilot placements.
MSN alone gives Microsoft substantial local scale, before adding the rest of its eligible search, shopping, audience and Copilot inventory.

Audiences for feed-enabled campaigns
Shopping, Performance Max and feed-based Audience Ads can take your products beyond traditional desktop search and into Microsoft’s modern search, native, display and AI-assisted experiences.
How the feed fits: Your Microsoft catalogue supplies the products, prices, images and availability. Microsoft Advertising and your media team determine which eligible audiences and placements receive those product-led ads.
Microsoft says Copilot is resonating with younger audiences. Eligible Performance Max activity can extend catalogue-led campaigns into Copilot placements.

View Microsoft source ↗Microsoft’s research describes a deliberate comparison journey. Accurate product titles, images, prices and availability help feed-enabled ads stay relevant during that research.
View Microsoft source ↗Microsoft reports that purchase journeys involving Copilot were associated with more purchases within 30 minutes. Performance Max can use Merchant Center products across eligible Microsoft inventory, including Copilot.

Target feed-enabled campaigns
Microsoft combines product intent, first-party audiences and professional profile signals. These audiences can support eligible Shopping, Performance Max and feed-based Audience campaigns.
How the layers work together: FeedOps manages the product-data foundation. Your media team or agency selects the campaign, audiences, bids and creative that use it.
Show catalogue products to people actively searching, browsing or comparing specific products.
Reconnect with people who viewed or engaged with specific product IDs.
Use purchase history, customer value, tenure, referrals and time since last purchase to build more useful audience segments.
Use Microsoft’s LinkedIn profile signals such as company, industry, job function and seniority.

Reach for feed-enabled campaigns
The available reach depends on the campaign you run. Shopping serves product ads against shopping intent, feed-based Audience Ads extend products beyond search, and Performance Max can optimise across eligible search, shopping, native, display and audience inventory.
Eligibility matters: A Microsoft partnership alone does not make a property a product-feed destination. This section only includes reach Microsoft connects to feed-enabled campaign types.
Microsoft Shopping campaigns use Merchant Center products to show visual Product Ads to people actively researching and comparing what to buy.
A catalogue can support Performance Max ads across eligible Microsoft search, shopping, native, display and audience inventory, including Copilot placements where available.
Feed-based Audience Ads can place relevant catalogue products across Microsoft properties including MSN, Microsoft Start, Edge and Outlook, plus eligible publisher partners.
Microsoft can match product IDs from the Merchant Center catalogue with products a visitor viewed, considered or purchased, then use those products in eligible remarketing campaigns.
Approved Merchant Center offers may also appear as unpaid product listings in Bing’s shopping experience, extending catalogue visibility beyond paid media.
An active Shopping feed can support automated dynamic product extensions that add relevant catalogue offers to eligible Microsoft Search ads.
Reach varies by campaign type, settings, market and Microsoft availability. See Microsoft’s official Audience campaigns and Performance Max information.
Channel fit
You are not starting from zero. The same product data and proven campaign approach can be extended to Microsoft, helping you reach an additional audience that may not otherwise see your products.
Use product-level performance from Google, Meta or Criteo to identify the brands, categories and products to take to Microsoft.
Extend successful product remarketing from Google, Meta or Criteo to Microsoft using Microsoft product remarketing.
