The PLA dashboard helps sellers check the performance of their Paytm Mall product listing ads campaigns. It includes sections for funnel metrics, performance trends, program contribution, campaign performance, catalogue performance, and category benchmarks. Funnel metrics provide overall spending, impressions, clicks, orders, and ROI. Performance trends show metrics over time. Program contribution compares PLA and organic sales. Campaign performance details spending, status, and metrics for individual campaigns. Catalogue performance has product and category level data. Category benchmarks compare the seller's metrics to industry averages.
