This release introduces marketplace advertiser support in Kevel's Self-serve, allowing customization of catalog access based on merchant or seller ID, alongside the addition of advertiser custom fields and bid modifiers in the Ad Server UI. Reports now support grouping by individual products for multi-product ads, and purchase event responses include more detailed information on unattributed transactions. Additionally, the Forecast UI now offers a daily breakdown of available inventory.

The release introduces support for CPM-type campaigns in Auction priority across all forecast interfaces, with the Forecast API now considering bid price alongside priority level. In the UI, goal lines for Impressions, Clicks, and Percentage goals are added, along with several UX improvements to the Availability widget, such as removing zero-value entries and enhancing tooltips. Ad Server reporting now allows customizable CSV column names, includes lifetime value (LTV) metrics, and adds bid modifier data. A new click-based conversion rate metric is also introduced. In Ad Serving, metadata parameters like productId, position, and component can now be added to events, enabling dynamic product attribution. Improvements were made to monthly goal balancing for better performance. Event logs now include purchase event metadata, and in the Catalog system, ads deactivated by users will remain inactive, even after product updates, ensuring deactivation persists.
