Promotions are a key lever for visibility and conversion in Shopping results. These changes unlock more promotion formats that reflect how consumers actually buy today, especially subscriptions and cashback offers. Greater flexibility in promotion types and language reduces disapprovals and makes Shopping ads more competitive at key decision moments. <\/p>\n<p>For retailers relying on subscriptions or local payment incentives, this update creates new ways to drive visibility and conversion on Google Shopping.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s changing<\/strong>. Google will now allow promotions tied to subscription fees, including free trials and percent- or amount-off discounts. Merchants can set these up by selecting \u201cSubscribe and save\u201d in Merchant Center or by using the <code>subscribe_and_save<\/code> redemption restriction in promotion feeds. Examples include a free first month on a premium subscription or a steep discount for the first few billing cycles.<\/p>\n<p>Google is also loosening restrictions on language. Common promotional abbreviations like BOGO, B1G1, MRP and MSRP are now supported, making it easier for retailers to mirror real-world retail messaging without risking disapproval.<\/p>\n<p>In <strong>Brazil only<\/strong>, Google will now support promotions that require a specific payment method, including cashback offers tied to digital wallets. Merchants must select \u201cForms of payment\u201d in Merchant Center or use the <code>forms_of_payment<\/code> redemption restriction.
