Step 2: Creating your first ad
It's time to put your skills to the test and create your first ad. But don't worry, If something is unclear. We're in this together, and we are here to guide you through every step of the way. So let's start crafting that ad and watch the customers roll in!
Selecting a Shop Element
Lets start with the first step i.e selecting the shop element. It is good idea to select your your best performing product or category and start advertising it first because if you already have sales here, we can assume that there are even more potential customers who are interested.
Go to My Shop and Select the shop element for which you want to create ads so that you can advertise it online.

Inserting URLS for shop elements
Checking URLs
If your product feed is stored in Shopstory, all elements from it are displayed under "My Shop". For products, the URL can be automatically assigned based on the information in the product feed. The respective URL is then subsequently used as the target URL for the advertising.
However, Shopstory cannot automatically link the URLs of your categories, brands and categories x brands to their relevant shop elements. So you will need to do this for the elements that you consider to be important!
Go to the info tab of the shop element you selected and make sure you already have a URL here. if you do not have it, you can add the URL using the edit button.
