Choose Your Revenue & Payout Models

Everflow's Core Platform Offers a plethora of Models for Revenue & Payout attribution. Before you begin configuration, it's essential to understand the fundamentals. Please refer to this guide if you're unsure of your Revenue & Payout Model choice.

Understand Revenue Tracking Using Sale Amounts

If you've chosen a Revenue Model that uses the total value of a sale (Conversion), you (or the Brand you're working with) will need to pass the total value of the sale to Everflow via Conversion Tracking. Everflow calls this the Sale Amount. You don't need this to set up this Offer's Revenue & Payout settings, but will need to pass this information along with every Conversion in order for the Revenue Model to work.

This section covers how to configure the Sale Amount via your Conversion Tracking Method. If you don't need to pass the Sale Amount, you can skip to the How To section further below.

Heads Up: For percentage-based Revenue and Payout (RPS / CPS), you must pass the sale amount via the amount=xxxx parameter in your tracking. This is different from revenue_amount=xxxx, which directly specifies the exact revenue value.

Using The JavaScript SDK

If you're using the JavaScript SDK Conversion Tracking Method, here's how you'll configure the Sale Amount:

Please note in the EF.conversion() function, the field amount sends over 75 USD as the Sale Amount to Everflow.

Using Server-To-Server Postbacks

Please note in the REST call above, the amount parameter sends over 75 USD as the Sale Amount to Everflow.

Bottom Line

Setting up Revenue and Payout in Everflow ensures accurate tracking and proper Partner compensation.

While the system requires you to define Revenue and Payout settings, that doesn't mean every action needs a monetary value. For lead generation or internal tracking, it's perfectly valid to set both values to $0.

At the end of the day, how you assign value is totally up to you. Just make sure it reflects what makes the most sense for your business goals.
