Custom payouts
Custom payouts let you pay individual publishers a different rate than the global offer payout. This is useful when negotiating higher rates with top-performing publishers, or lower rates for new and unproven sources.
Open Partners > Publishers Management, select a publisher, then go to the Custom Payouts tab.
Before you begin
Section titled “Before you begin”- Configure global revenue and payout for the offer.
- Add the publisher you want to set a custom rate for.
Create a custom payout
Section titled “Create a custom payout”
- Go to Partners > Publishers Management and open the publisher.
- Select the Custom Payouts tab.
- Click Create.
- Set:
- Offer: pick the offer this custom payout applies to.
- Event: pick the conversion or event that triggers the payout.
- Revenue Type and Revenue Value (or percent for RPS and RPAxRPS).
- Payout Type and Payout Value (or percent for CPS, PRV, and CPAxCPS).
- Click Save.
The custom payout overrides the global payout for this publisher on the selected offer and event. Other publishers keep the global rate.
