Creating and managing offers is an essential feature in UCLIQ, enabling clients to control targeting, payout structures, and publisher access. This guide outlines the steps to add and configure a new offer in UCLIQ, focusing on basic and advanced settings for streamlined campaign management.
To start the offer setup, navigate to the Offers section and click + New Offer:

Original Name: Optionally add the original advertiser-provided name for internal reference.
Advertiser Account: Select the advertiser associated with this offer.
Currency: Choose the currency for this offer’s postbacks (default is the currency of the selected advertiser account).
Expected Payout: Indicate the payout range or estimated payout rate.
Main Category: Select a category for the offer (e.g., finance, health) to group similar offers.

Campaigns availability:
-

Bot Return URL: Set a specific URL for bot and crawler traffic.

Targeting
Device and Platform: Choose allowed devices and platforms.
Geography: Select target regions or countries.
Traffic Types: Define acceptable traffic types (e.g., email, social media).
Link
Landing page: Use pre-landing pages to filter traffic and verify user intent before redirection to the offer.

and {publisher_id}
for dynamic parameter insertion.
Required Macros: Ensure {click_id}
is included for accurate tracking and attribution.
Goals and Rates
Title: Give a name for your goal
Payout Model: Choose the conversion payment model for the offer:
Ratio: Pay a percentage of revenue generated.
Fixed: Set a fixed payout rate.
Goal-based: Configure specific goals and payouts associated with each goal.
Publisher payout type: Choose the payout type for the offer:
Multiple: Standard mode where each conversion generates a separate payment for the publisher.
First: Only the first conversion for a click ID is paid; subsequent conversions on the same click ID do not trigger payments.
Disabled: No payments are made for conversions on this goal; the publisher receives no payout for these postbacks
Daily Cap: Limit the number of conversions per 24 hours to control campaign costs.
Once all settings are complete, switch the offer status to Active to make it available to publishers.
