Applying Load Rules

Load Rules determine when and where to load an instance of this tag. The Load on All Pages rule is the default load rule. To load this tag on a specific page, create a new load rule with the relevant conditions.

As a best practice, set up load rule conditions to strategically load these tags on the pages where you want to track the conversion.

Setting up Mappings

Mapping is the simple process of sending data from a data source, in your data layer, to the matching destination variable of the vendor tag.

The following table describes the standard destination variables available from the Mapping Toolbox.

Variable	Description
`qty`	Map to this variable to indicate the quantity of items sold or the number of transactions for an item.
`cost`	Map to this variable to indicate the amount of revenue generated by the transaction.
`list_id`	Map to this variable to send the identifier of the boom list (created by the advertiser for retargeting purpose).
`U1` through `U10`	Map to one or more variables to send custom data.
