Basic account information

To complete your account setup with UCLIQ we need basic information from your end. Please read the guide and send your Onboarding manager the requested information: Domains To properly configure the platform as a Whitelabel solution, certain DNS records must be set. These are the domain types that will be used in your account: Admin Domain: This is where you'll access the admin panel. Example: https://your-company.com/manager Publisher Domain: Where publishers access their panel. Example: https://your-company.com/publisher Postback domains: These are used by advertisers to send postback information to the platform. UCLIQ will pre-configure these domains for you. Example: https://your-company-domain.utrfk.com CDN Domains: These are used to ensure fast and efficient content delivery through UCLIQ's Content Delivery Network. You will need to set up two CDN domain names for optimal performance. The format will look like: https://geo-1.your-company.com https://geo-2.your-company.com These domains will be linked to UCLIQ's CDN servers for faster access and redundancy across various regions. Domain levels The third-level domain names can be used: https://admin.your-company-domain.com/manager https://publisher.your-company-domain.com/publisher However, we advise using the second-level domain names to benefit your SEO from visits to panels. DNS Setup: If using your main domain: set up a CNAME record to point your domain to UCLIQ. For a third-level domain (https://admin.your-company.com): set up a CNAME record. You can delegate DNS management to UCLIQ for better security and performance. Please contact us if you wish to do so.

Base currency

Let’s break down currency settings so you can jump right in with confidence. On UCLIQ, you can set any currency as your main one and add as many extra currencies as you need for advertisers. This means that if you receive conversions in different currencies, the platform can automatically convert them into your main one – as long as exchange rates are available from our providers. And if you prefer, you can even set exchange rates manually. To set up the currency please go to the System > Control Center > Platform. Here you can find the Currency option, add new one or enable/disable existing ones. The base currency of the platform determines in which currency statistics, reports and other financial indicators will be displayed both in the Manager portal and in the Publisher portal. Also, payments to publishers are generated in the base currency. Heads up: Once you choose your main currency, you won’t be able to change it later. So, be sure to let your sales manager know which currency you plan to use when you’re setting up your trial and before you dive into live work.
