      • 200 OK

      • 204 No content

      • 400 Bad request

      • 404 Not found

Affiliate Fallback

  • When requested offer is not available: choose where to redirect the traffic when the offer is not reachable or when the traffic is blocked.

    • Find alternative offer and report to the affiliate: If you choose this option, Aftrad will send the traffic to the most optimal offer.

      • attributed offer's payout value: If you select this option, every conversion will be attributed to the affiliate, regardless of whether the payout for the affiliate is the same as the requested offer.

      • requested offer's payout value: The conversion will only be attributed to the affiliate when the accumulated affiliate payout equals or exceeds the payout of the requested offer. Therefore, the platform will continue accumulating postbacks until the payout of the requested offer is reached. This will result in a discrepancy between the number of events recorded for the network and those for the affiliate. However, from the affiliates' point of view, they will always receive a postback with the same payout.

    • Return click to traffic back URL: If you choose this option, the traffic will be redirected to the URL configured in the Traffic Back URL field.
