Amazon DSP advertising reporting: did it pay off?

DSP puts your brand on Prime Video, Fire TV, Twitch and the open web. Nova shows what it sold, and what it left in your profit.

How Nova reads your Amazon DSP advertising

  1. Structure
Structure

Is my DSP spending the way I planned?

Open a campaign and see its budget, how fast it is spending, how many shoppers it reached and how often. No second console to learn.

Nova DSP page: one Amazon DSP order opened into its three line items, with flight, budget, pacing, spend, impressions, purchases, reach and frequency for September 2026, illustrative values
Pacing at 100% is on schedule; 80% is a fifth behind. Illustrative values.
  1. What it sold
What it sold

What did it actually sell?

Shoppers who saw your ad often buy a different product of yours. Nova shows both: the product you promoted, and the rest of your brand, counted over 14 days.

Total ROAS is never below ROAS: it only adds the halo. Illustrative values.

Delivery and creatives

Where did shoppers see it?

Prime Video, Fire TV, Amazon's pages or the open web, on a phone or a TV. See which place, and which ad, brought buyers.

  1. Audiences
Audiences

Who did it reach?

The audiences you picked, and the ones you reached anyway. One shopper can sit in several, so the shares never add up to 100%.

Nova DSP Audiences lens, marked segments overlap and are never summed: segment, behavioral or untargeted, class, share of spend, spend, detail page views and purchases, with a total row for every line item, illustrative values
The total row is every line item, not the sum of the segments. Illustrative values.

In your P&L

Did it make me money?

DSP lands in your P&L as its own line, next to fees and cost of goods. It counts in TACOS and net profit, and never muddies your PPC ACOS.

Nova P&L by week from profit before ads to net profit, with Advertising cost opened into sponsored products, sponsored brands video, sponsored brands, Amazon DSP, sponsored display and Creator Connections, beside the Advertising cost filter with PPC, Amazon DSP and Creator Connections ticked, illustrative values
Untick DSP in the Advertising filter to read the P&L your PPC manager reads. Illustrative values.

Sponsored ads keep their own lane in Amazon advertising analytics, and every other cost sits in the profit and loss.
