+excerpt: "FastStore projects now include a new parameter to improve the management of sponsored product search results."
+---
+
+We've added a new parameter, `sponsoredCount`, to the search query. This parameter gives more control over the number of sponsored products returned in your store’s search results.
+
+> ⚠ Extension API users: If you are using the [`ClientProductGallery`](https://developers.vtex.com/docs/guides/faststore/api-extensions-extending-queries-using-fragments#clientproductgalleryquery) fragment, this change may cause errors. Make sure your implementation is updated to handle the `sponsoredCount` parameter accordingly by following the instructions in the [next section](#api-extension-users).
+
+## What needs to be done?
+
+To have the new parameter enabled in your project, follow these steps:
+
+1. Open your FastStore project using your preferred code editor.
+2. Update your FastStore project to version `3.0.157` or later, by running the following:
+
+   ```bash
+   yarn upgrade -L --scope @faststore
+   ```
+
+3. Run `yarn build`.
+
+### API extension users
+
+If you are using the [`ClientProductGallery`](https://developers.vtex.com/docs/guides/faststore/api-extensions-extending-queries-using-fragments#clientproductgalleryquery) fragment, after updating the store version to the latest one, you may encounter the following error:
+
+```bash
+[FAILED] GraphQL Document Validation failed with 1 errors;
+[FAILED]   Error 0: Fields "search" conflict because they have differing arguments. Use different aliases on the fields to fetch both if this was intentional.
+[FAILED]     at /Users/fanny.chien/Work/faststore.store/.faststore/src/sdk/product/usePageProductsQuery.ts:11:5
+[FAILED]     at /Users/fanny.chien/Work/faststore.store/.faststore/src/sdk/product/usePageProductsQuery.ts:3:5
+[SUCCESS] Generate outputs
+Running lifecycle hook "afterStart" scripts...
+```
+
+To fix it, follow these steps:
+
+1. Go to the file where you are using the `ClientManyProducts` fragment, and add the missing `sponsoredCount` parameter.
+
+    ```ts mark=8
+    import { gql } from "@faststore/core/api";
+
+    export const fragment = gql(`
+    fragment ClientManyProducts on Query {
+    search(
+        first: $first
+        after: $after
+        sort: $sort
+        term: $term
+        selectedFacets: $selectedFacets
+        sponsoredCount: $sponsoredCount  // Add this parameter!
+    ) {
+        … 
+    }
+    }
+    `);
+    ```
+
+2. Save the changes.
+3. Run `yarn build` once again.
