Rakuten Ads
It’s a fast, easy and convenient way to showcase your products on thousands of relevant locations on the Rakuten platform, and gain significant visibility.
Our algorithm automatically selects the most relevant keywords to promote your products, which will appear in the first search results. If a potential buyer types in a pre-defined keyword, your product appears first in the search results. The campaign you set up will therefore apply to all your products, and the algorithm will select according to categories, etc.
Activate your Rakuten Ads campaign now to benefit from its advantages:
- Greater visibility
By setting up Rakuten Ads, you maximize the exposure of your ads when buyers search for a product you offer on the platform. Our algorithm will place your products in first position at the most appropriate times.
- Multiply your sales
Ads promoted with Rakuten Ads generate more traffic, boosting your sales and revenue. What’s more, your store’s name will appear in search results, and users who click will be redirected directly to your dedicated page. So you increase your chances of sales.
- Controlled marketing costs
You set your own budget, which you can’t exceed once it’s exhausted. What’s more, with the help of your E-Commerce Consultant, you can analyze the results of your marketing campaigns and keep your marketing costs under control.
Did you know ?
In addition to being promoted on our platform, your products will also be featured on Facebook and Criteo partner sites. So you gain visibility across all the marketing levers activated by Rakuten.
Our solution offers the possibility of configuring an optimized cost-per-click for campaigns, and in particular of defining a daily budget.
The defined budget will never be exceeded, and the campaign will stop as soon as the budget is reached.
The number of impressions is unlimited as long as the budget hasn’t been used up!
- Log in to your account with your login and password.
- Once logged in, click on Rakuten Ads in the Marketing Tools tab to access your Rakuten Ads campaign, and enter your login and password again.
- Click here to access Rakuten Ads.
- Click on Go to Rakuten Ads Automatic.
- Then define your maximum monthly budget. This budget will be renewed automatically every month, unless you decide to deactivate your campaign (this can be done at any time).
- Once you’ve defined your budget, click on Continue.
As soon as the campaign is programmed, 30 seconds is all it takes for your ads to be visible in the most relevant locations on the platform and on partner sites.
Notes:
- If your campaign starts on the 20th of the month, for example, the budget for your Rakuten Ads campaign will run until the end of the month and will be renewed by the same amount for the following month.
- You can increase your campaign budget if it runs out before the end of the month. To do so, enter in the “Your max. monthly budget” box the total budget you wish to spend during the current month (initial budget + additional amount).
For example:
If your initial budget of €1,000 is exhausted and you wish to add €500 to your campaign, enter the amount of €1,500 (including the initial €1,000 + the additional €500) in the “Your max. monthly budget” box.

La facturation de votre campagne Rakuten Ads est réalisée au début du mois suivant la date de fin de la campagne.
Your Rakuten Ads campaign is invoiced at the beginning of the month following the campaign end date.
Rakuten Ads campaigns are invoiced with the rest of the services invoiced by Rakuten (Commissions on cancelled sales, Rakuten Points, etc.) The campaign therefore appears in the global invoice, available in the “My invoiced services” section. Your campaign will be a line named “Rakuten Ads automatic” with start and end dates.
You can retrieve your invoices by logging into your Rakuten account.
- Click on My invoiced services in the Finances section.
- Here you’ll find all your Rakuten invoices in PDF format. If necessary, select the year and type of invoice.
- Download last month’s invoice and find the amount invoiced for your Rakuten Ads campaign via the line “Rakuten Ads Automatiques du … to …”, the first date corresponding to the start of your campaign (i.e. the 1st of the month, or the date on which your campaign began) and the second date to the last day of the previous month.
For more information, please go to the Billing Help page, by clicking here.
You have two options:
1) Go to your Rakuten Ads campaign interface and click on Deactivate my campaign.
To ensure that your campaign is deactivated and that auto-renewal has stopped, check the status of your campaign, which should be “Inactive“.
Finally, check that you have “No” on the “Monthly budget renewal” line.
2) Ask your E-Commerce Consultant to deactivate your campaign.
This also gives you the opportunity to discuss your campaign together and see if any adjustments can be made to optimize the performance of our tool.
