Heres the flow:
- Publisher generates an order using the code →
- Order conversion gets updated on DCMnetwork & is reflected on publisher portal (as “pending”).→
- Publisher Conversion Report shows the conversion as well as Publisher payout (as “pending”).→
- Conversion status remains pending until the advertiser approves the order upon the time of monthly validation →
- Validation can take from 5 to 30 days or even 60 days after month end depending on the advertiser and the industry. Ex: travel brands take a lot longer to validate as compared to food delivery, Like wise validation period is also determined by the Order delivery/return/cancellation window offered by advertiser to its customers. After the validation Period the advertiser approved or rejects the orders.
- Approved order means that the order is valid and successfully delivered.
Rejected order means that the order is invalid/not delivered/returned/canceled/duplicate. - The advertiser is invoiced for approved sales.
- The advertiser makes the payment.
- Depending upon approved orders, publisher pending payout is added to publisher’s Approved payment balance.
- Approved balance is paid to Publisher in next payment cycle given his Account Balance meets the Minimum Payment Threshold and his Account Info is already updated.
