When Flipkart ads get no impressions, one of seven things is wrong: the bid is below what the auction needs, a Smart ROI target is set too high, the listing is ineligible or out of stock, the wallet is empty, the campaign has ended or is paused, the daily budget is already gone, or the campaign is still under review. Work through them in order; most cases take ten minutes.
Flipkart Ads reports refresh a few times a day, so a campaign started this morning shows nothing until the next refresh. A campaign created in the last 24 hours with zero impressions is not broken yet. Blooprint's troubleshooting post on Flipkart ads not spending covers the panel screens; this page is the checklist to run through, in the order that finds the problem fastest.
Is it Active, not Paused, Ended or Under Review? An end date in the past is the single most common reason a campaign that used to work has stopped. Extend it or remove it.
Look at today's spend against the daily budget. If it is at 100% by mid-morning the campaign is not failing to get impressions; it is getting them all before you look. Raise the budget or lower the bid.
Check available balance, not total balance. Money blocked against other running campaigns is not available to this one. If Advertise Now Pay Later is the source, check the used limit.
Open the FSN. Out of stock at FBF, blocked, inactive, in a restricted category, or missing a usual price on a brand-new listing all stop delivery. New listings have no usual price for around 15 days, which affects deals, not ads, but a listing under quality review does stop ads.
A Smart ROI campaign with zero spend almost always has a target the FSN cannot meet. The system will not bid at a loss against the target, so it does not bid at all. Lower the target by one point at a time, or switch the FSN to a CPC campaign until it has sales history.
In a CPC campaign, compare your bid with the suggested bid range in the panel. A bid well below it loses every auction. Raise it in 15 to 20% steps and wait a day between steps; impressions usually return within hours.
Ten exact-match keywords with low search volume produce few impressions by design. Add phrase match, add an automatic campaign alongside, or broaden the keyword list from the search term report of another campaign.
If impressions are fine and clicks are near zero, the problem is the listing tile, not the campaign: main image, price against competitors, rating and delivery promise. A click-through rate under about 0.3% on search placements is a signal to fix the listing before spending more.
If clicks are fine and spend looks too low, it is usually attribution lag or the actual CPC being well below the bid. Neither is a problem.
Status, date and budget fixes take effect immediately, and impressions show at the next report refresh. Bid changes feed the next auctions at once, and a meaningful change is visible in a few hours. Listing fixes depend on Flipkart's review; a stock update is quick, a quality review can take days. Give a Smart ROI target change a full day before judging it.
Across 30 or 40 campaigns, checking status, budget pace, balance, stock and bids by hand is the work that gets skipped, which is why campaigns sit dead for a week. BlooprintAI's campaign health and budget monitor views for Flipkart list every campaign with status, spend pace and ROI, flag unadvertised FSNs, and let you change bids and budgets in bulk with a summary first.

Learn more →Check, in order: campaign status and end date, daily budget already spent, available wallet or credit balance, listing eligibility and stock, Smart ROI target too high, CPC bid below the suggested range, and keyword scope too narrow. One of these explains nearly every case.
The target ROI is higher than the FSN can deliver, so the system does not bid. Lower the target one point at a time, or move the FSN to a CPC campaign until it has steady sales history.
Usually within hours, and certainly by the next day. Raise in 15 to 20% steps and wait a day between them so you do not overshoot.
No. An FSN with no stock at FBF or in your warehouse stops serving, although the campaign stays active and its budget stays reserved. Impressions resume when stock is live.
Yes. The auction weighs expected conversion, so a listing with poor images, a low rating or a price above the market wins fewer auctions at the same bid. Fix the listing before raising bids.
Not until you have run the checklist. A paused campaign loses whatever history it had. Fix the cause, give it a day, and pause only if the FSN itself is not worth advertising.
