Application Support:Advertiser Settings

From HasOffers

These advertiser settings control how your network handles advertiser management functions.

Advertiser System

Enable or disable the advertiser system on your affiliate network. Enabling it allows advertiser accounts to be created and managed along with enabling advertisers to access to your network. Disabling it removes the entire Advertisers tab from your network along with all corresponding advertiser features. You don't need the advertiser system enabled if you are using your affiliate network to promote offers you own or just have a few offers and don't require the complexities involved with managing advertisers.

Advertiser Sign Up

Specify how new advertiser sign ups will be handled. Advertiser account status will be based on this setting. There are four options that determine how applications will be processed.

Auto Approve

Auto approval sets advertiser account to active immediately. Users auto approved get logged into your network after submitting application and notifies employees.

Require Approval

Require approval sets new advertiser accounts to pending and will need to be approved by your network. When approved, advertisers will be notified and receive a welcome email.

Phone Verification

Phone verification requires user to verify their account by receiving a phone call and entering a PIN. Phone numbers must be entered in an international formatting starting with the country code prefix. Users that verify their account via phone will be automatically approved.

Signup Disabled

If disabled, advertisers will not be able to sign up to your network, however, employees will still be able to create advertiser accounts in their admin interface.

CAPTCHA on Sign Up

Require users to complete CAPTCHA on sign up. If users don't complete CAPTCHA successfully, then their application won't be submitted. The prevents scripts or bots from creating accounts. However, the additional step can make it more difficult to signup.

You will need to signup with reCAPTCHA to obtain the required public and private key: http://www.google.com/recaptcha/whyrecaptcha

Once you signup with reCAPTCHA, Google will give you a public and private key that you will need to insert into your network settings.

Advertiser Managers

Enable employees to manage only specific advertiser accounts and only have access to them. Once enabled you can manage set account managers to advertiser accounts.

Advertiser Sign Up with Manager

Provide advertiser managers with links to sign up accounts under their management. These links include the employee's ID so that when the advertiser sign up, the advertiser account will be under the employee's management. If set to Auto Approve, advertisers that sign up will be automatically approved with their account manager set based on the employee ID in the link. If set to Require Approval, advertisers that sign up will have their account manager set but their account will remain pending until approved. Require approval thus will notify other managers that the account is not theirs and allow the employee to review the account before approval. Disabled doesn't provide advertiser sign up links to advertiser account managers. Account manager links are displayed in the admin interface on the bottom of the Snapshot page.

Manage Pending Accounts

Enable advertiser managers to see pending accounts and assign themselves as an account manager. If disabled only employees with global permission can see pending accounts and approve them.

Auto-Assign Advertiser Managers

In the case where advertiser sign up is set to auto approve, you may assign auto-approved advertisers to a random advertiser manager. If enabled, choose one or more advertiser managers that you wish to be included in the random auto-assignment for auto-approved advertisers. It advertiser sign up is set to auto approve and this feature disabled, newly approved advertiser that are now active won't have an account manager.

Advertiser User Management

Enable advertisers to create and manage their own users and grant their users specific access to different permissions to their account.

Advertiser Billing

Feature to create and manage advertiser invoices. Invoices are created based on statistics for the offers linked to advertiser accounts. Enable this feature to create and manage advertiser invoices so you can bill them. For more information refer to [Application_Support:Advertiser_Billing|Advertiser Billing]].

Approve and Reject Conversions

By default advertisers can only see all conversions and can not approve or reject them. By enabling this feature, advertisers can approve or reject conversions in their interface. This is based used for advertisers that need to reject fraud conversions or approve pending conversions manually.

Stats API

Enable advertisers to interact with the Stats API and determines if they need prior approval. The stats API for advertisers gives them access to the same data available in the reports in their interface. If set to Auto Approval advertisers will be able to immediate make API calls. If set to Require Approval advertiser API requests will have to be approved by employees. Pending advertiser API requests can be approved from the API page (hover over Support tab and click API). If set to Disabled, advertisers won't have access to the advertiser Stats API.
