Advanced Amazon DSP tips

Collecting profile data from Amazon DSP

If the data collected from Amazon DSP does not contain profile data from a certain region, this could be due to several reasons. Check the following points for solutions to this issue:

Make sure the merchant has set up an Adverity authorization with the correct account.
If the merchant uses multiple accounts, make sure they are connecting to Adverity with the correct account.
If the account used to set up the authorization to Amazon DSP is a managed account, the Profiles field is hidden in the datastream configuration.
Make sure there is only one email address associated with each region for which to collect data. This is the email address for the authorized account. For example, only use the email amazon-eu@xyz.com for data collection in the EU region and the email amazon-na@xyz.com for data collection in the NA region.
Make sure the merchant has created at least Sponsored Products campaign.
Make sure the account used in the Adverity authorization has View and Edit permissions for Campaign Management.
