Rather than trying to drive down costs, how about trying to increase revenue per click? Maybe just charge users coming from google shopping more? Or offer them some discount if they spend more than X, or give them a discount for referring friends? I'm just spit-balling though, I've never run an e-commerce business.

price discrimination can get you into trouble, some forms are straight up illegal in US.

Given the pervasiveness of price discrimination I would be surprised if this was prosecuted at all.

The only thing that popped up about price discrimination in the usa was this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robinson%E2%80%93Patman_Act

Which seems to have a requirement that there was harm to competition, which is not the case here.
