Marketplace or direct: see where an offer came from

Updated

View as Markdown

Your network dashboard splits Offers into Marketplace and Direct. Marketplace offers come to you from the AffiliateOS marketplace; direct offers are the ones your network added for advertisers you work with. On the Network API, placement=marketplace or placement=direct gives you the same split.

Steps

  1. Offers, then Marketplace or Direct

    In the sidebar, open Offers. It has three views:

    ViewWhat it lists
    All OffersMarketplace and direct offers together
    Marketplace“Offers available from the AffiliateOS marketplace.”
    Direct“Direct offers added to your network account.” The page’s title reads Direct Offers.

    Each view lists Offer, Advertiser, Payout, Type, Platform and Status. Create Direct Offer is on All Offers and Direct.

  2. Open an offer to check

    An offer’s page tells you which kind it is:

    • A direct offer has Edit offer details. If it belongs to a campaign, a Campaign box names it, with Go to Campaign View.
    • A marketplace offer is read-only. Its page says “This imported network offer is read-only. Direct offers can be edited from this page.”
  3. Split them on the Network API

    Shell
    curl -G "https://affiliateos.xyz/network-api/offers" \
      -d placement=direct -d page=1 \
      -H "x-api-key: $NORTHFOLD_NETWORK_KEY"

    Example for Northfold Media.

    placementReturns
    allBoth kinds. The same as leaving it out.
    marketplaceOffers from the AffiliateOS marketplace
    directOnly direct offers your network added

    Direct rows also carry campaignId and campaignName, so you can group them by campaign.

  4. Check it worked

    Take one row’s id from placement=direct and paste it into Search offers by name or ID on Direct: it’s there, with Edit offer details on its page.

What your publishers see

Your publishers see marketplace and direct offers in one list, each under its AffiliateOS offer ID. They never see the source behind a marketplace offer or its upstream offer ID: not on their screens, not in their offer lists and not in their postbacks.

Copies of the same app

A direct offer is never merged with a marketplace copy of the same app, so your own deal never disappears behind a marketplace listing. Marketplace copies of one app can merge with each other: see How we pick which copy of an offer you see.
