Meta has officially merged Advantage+ Shopping Campaigns into the broader Advantage+ Sales Campaign framework.
- Advantage+ Shopping Campaigns (ASC) used to be a single-campaign, no-adset setup focused purely on eComm purchases.
- Now, under the new structure, you’ll see “Advantage+ Sales Campaign”, which serves the same purpose but with added flexibility.
- These newer campaigns allow multiple ad sets, campaign/ad set-level budgets, and even custom audience exclusions—big shift!
What You Should Know:
- Functionally, this is still the core Advantage+ setup you’re used to, just rebranded and expanded.
- If you follow Meta's new default setup structure and meet the automation criteria (broad targeting, optimized placements, purchase conversion event), it automatically runs as Advantage+ in the backend—even if it doesn't say "Shopping" anymore.
- You’ll see the “Advantage+” badge in the top-right inside your ad set if Meta recognizes the structure as ASC.
Pro Tip:
To replicate the old ASC behavior, use:
- Sales objective
- One broad audience (country-wide, 18–65+)
- No exclusions unless specified
- Campaign-level budget
- Set conversion goal to Purchases
