Bidmagpie

Performance-only Google Shopping. We bid. You only pay on a sale.

Bidmagpie is a Google CSS Partner that places your products in the Shopping carousel on a pure CPA basis. No retainer, no CPC risk, no setup fee.

How it works

Three steps. No disruption to your existing campaigns.

Step 01

You stay on your current setup

We connect via your existing affiliate network — Awin, CJ, Webgains, TradeTracker, or Rakuten. No new contracts, no platform migration.

Step 02

We bid for incremental placements

We target Google Shopping auctions your own campaigns aren’t winning. The 20% CSS auction advantage gives us room to be profitable at lower CPCs.

Step 03

You pay a CPA only on validated sales

No clicks, no impressions, no monthly fee. If we don’t deliver a sale, you don’t pay. Risk sits with us.

Why merchants choose us

CPA only

You only pay when we deliver a validated sale. No retainer. No setup fee. No minimum spend.

Incremental, not cannibalising

We optimise titles and descriptions to target queries your existing feed doesn’t match. Combined with Google’s auction deduplication, that means genuinely new traffic — not a redistribution of yours.

Multi-network ready

We plug into Awin, CJ, Webgains, TradeTracker, and Rakuten. No new contracts. No extra integrations.

UK and EU coverage

Google Shopping in 21 countries plus Microsoft Shopping reach. One partner for the whole of Europe.

Affiliate networks supported

Two Shopping networks. One partner.

We run Google Shopping and Microsoft Shopping side by side for every retailer. Same feed, same CPA model, double the reach.

Google Shopping

  • 20% CSS auction advantage over non-CSS bidders
  • 21 European markets via the Shopping carousel
  • Dominant search share in the UK and EU
  • Optimised titles and descriptions for incremental queries

Microsoft Shopping

  • Lower CPCs than Google — less competition, same intent
  • Bing, Yahoo, DuckDuckGo, and Edge browser reach
  • Higher-income demographic skew in UK and US markets
  • Same CPA model — no additional risk for you

Every retailer we work with gets both networks by default. We manage the feeds, the bidding, and the optimisation. You see one combined line in your affiliate dashboard.
