Turning Off Googles Shopping Ads In The New Etsy Ads

About this video

The creator shares a workaround for Etsy sellers who preferred the old Promoted Listings over Google Shopping ads: setting your Etsy Ads daily budget below $4 turns Google Shopping ads off, leaving only promoted listings running. Working in a test store, he goes to Marketing, then Advertising, and uses Change Budget to set an amount under $4 (he shows examples like $3.95 and $3.19), then updates. In Stats he points to the events log showing ‘Google Shopping turned off/on’ and notes that Etsy automatically converted accounts to the combined setup on the 9th for budgets above $4. He is candid about the trade-off: a $3–$4 daily budget buys very little reach, so he doubts the hack is practical for most sellers — he himself previously spent $12–$17 per day on promoted listings with good results and had recently raised his budget by $5. The video is essentially a short tip for sellers who dislike Google Shopping performance and are willing to accept the low spend cap.

Key takeaways

• Setting the Etsy Ads daily budget below $4 turns off Google Shopping ads and leaves only promoted listings
• Change it via Marketing > Advertising > Change Budget, and verify in Stats/events where Google Shopping shows as turned off
• Etsy auto-converted accounts with budgets above $4 to the combined promoted listings + Google Shopping setup
• The catch: $3–$4/day buys minimal reach, so the creator doubts it works well in practice
• The creator’s own promoted-listings spend was $12–$17/day, well above the threshold needed for the workaround
