What is conversion or action ?

Conversion or action is a condition that occurs when an individual acts such as purchasing, registering or installing an application from an affiliate link that the publisher has posted on their owned media. Every conversion or action that occurs will be recorded by the system and appear on the ACCESSTRADE publisher dashboard.

Type of conversion or action

What's the difference between pending, approved and rejected conversions ?

Conversion or action owned by publisher happens to be 3 types.

1. Conversion pending
   Pending conversions or actions are conversions that occur but the validation process has not been done by the advertiser.
   
   
2. Conversion approved
   Conversion or action that matches the target of the campaign and has been validated by the advertiser.
   
   
3. Conversion rejected
   Conversion or action does not match the target of the campaign and have been rejected by the advertiser.
   
   

How to read pending, apporved and rejected conversions ?

To help publishers read all three types of conversions or actions, the conversions or actions have different markings.

1. Conversion pending
   
   
   
   On the ACCESSTRADE publisher dashboard, conversion pending is marked with the clock symbol. This symbol provides information that the conversion or action has not been entered into the validation process carried out by the advertiser.
   
   
2. Conversion approved
   
   
   
   On the ACCESSTRADE publisher dashboard, approved conversions are marked with the symbol "√". This symbol provides information that the conversion or action matches the target of the campaign posted by the publisher.
   
   
3. Conversion rejected
   
   
   
   On the ACCESSTRADE publisher dashboard, conversion rejected is marked with the symbol "X". This symbol provides information that the conversion or action is rejected or does not match the target of the campaign posted by the publisher.

Validation process

What is validation process ?

The validation process is a stage of checking the conversion or action carried out by the advertiser. This check aims to ensure the conversion or action that occurs from a website or blog or social media owned by the publisher in accordance with the target campaign. If the conversion or action is considered to be in accordance with the target campaign, then it will be considered approve, but if it is not appropriate then it is considered reject.

When the validation process carried out ?

The validation process carried out by each campaign or advertiser is different, to find out the length of the validation period can be seen in the description of each campaign in the ACCESSTRADE publisher dashboard.

Conversion conditions approved and rejected ?

Maybe each publisher is confused, when they have installed an affiliate link and an action occurs from a website or blog or social media but the conversion is declared reject? When the publisher will install an affiliate link on a website or blog or social media, it is necessary to read the description of each campaign because of the importance of knowing the target to be achieved from the campaign to be promoted.
