Which kind of Ad Formats are available?
There are now 4 ad formats available for all Native Shopping Ads' variants

• Grid Format: This is the ad format that we launched Native Shopping Ads with. It is a multi-product, responsive ad format with rich UI elements like image, price, ratings, etc. We generally recommend placing this ad format at the end or within the product article pages.
• List Format: This is essentially a list of links to related products. This would be suitable for you if you prefer a unit with a more subtle user experience.

• Card format: The Card format can be used to display an ad that lists a single product. It is suitable for in-content placement for articles which closely relate to the product. This format is available for Custom variant only, and can only be downloaded from the SiteStripe toolbar. Learn more.

• Strip Format: A slimmer, borderless ad unit that is best-suited for in-content placement. Learn more.
