Setting up your offer: what we need and what each field means

Modified on Mon, 17 Aug at 11:06 PM

Your Indoleads manager creates the offer for you (on Growth plans it's part of setup). This is the checklist of what to prepare and how each setting affects publishers.

Basics

  • Title, logo, description — what publishers see in the catalogue. Describe the product, the audience, and why it converts.
  • Category (vertical) — e-commerce, travel, finance, software, dating, games, nutra… Publishers filter by it.
  • Website URL (preview) and Offer URL (where traffic lands; we append click_id and other tokens).
  • Landing pages — extra URLs publishers can choose instead of the home page.
  • Deeplinking — Yes lets publishers link to any page of your site (product, category); usually +CR.
  • GEO coverage — countries where the offer pays. Users from other countries can be sent to a geo-redirect URL instead of an error.
  • Devices — all / mobile / desktop.
  • VisibilityActive (open to all), Need approval (you vet publishers — see Approving publishers), Private.
  • Status — active / inactive (paused; existing links show in publishers' dead-links report).

Money

  • Payout type — CPS (% of sale), CPA/CPL (fixed per action), CPI (per install).
  • Revenue (what you pay Indoleads) and payout (what the publisher gets) — or a single rate if commission is agreed as a share; per-category rates via the cat parameter.
  • Short payout — the one-liner in the catalogue ("up to 8%", "$12 per lead").
  • Hold period — days you take to validate. Be realistic; publishers see it and plan cash flow around it.
  • Cookie lifetime — attribution window after the click (7–30 days is common; longer attracts content publishers).
  • Cap — optional limit on conversions/budget per period; conversions above cap get Overage status.

Rules

  • Traffic restrictions — allowed / need approval / forbidden per traffic type. Publishers can only generate links from sources of allowed types.
  • Promo materials — banners (standard sizes), coupon codes, XML/CSV product feed for e-commerce.

Tracking — postback / pixel / container / API — see Integration options. Your security_token and offer ID appear on the offer page after creation.

Changes after launch (payout, GEO, restrictions) — send to your manager; publishers get an automatic "offer updated" notification for material changes.
