What are the differences between Amazon and Perpetua SD terminology?

At Perpetua we only support and optimize for page visits, which uses a standard CPC (cost per click) model. This is because there is a much more linear relationship between the bid you set and the actual bid, which allows the ad engine to have more control over it. As a result, all the SD campaigns you create in Perpetua will be optimized for page visits.

Each Segment you create in Perpetua will launch a different campaign in the Amazon Ad Console and each campaign will have only one ad group. In Perpetua we have 6 different type of segments, also known as targeting options. Below is a breakdown of how they correspond with Amazon targeting terminology:
