It is possible to override these settings for individual demand partners. For details, see Edit Buyer Eligibility, Allowed Payment Types, and Targeting Access.

Set default buyer eligibility

  • Eligible - You can sell inventory to this partner, since the ads they would like to serve have proven trustworthy (i.e., this partner's ads meet your ad quality requirements). If you select this, you must define the payment methods you will accept and the targeting information you will provide. See Setting default allowed payment types the Set default targeting access (below).
  • Blocked - You will not sell any inventory to this member for any number of reasons. For example, you may have a direct relationship with a buyer, and you wish to avoid allowing them access to your inventory at a potentially lower price via RTB.

Set default allowed payment types

This indicates the types of payment you accept from eligible partners.

If you allow CPC and CPA payment, you must also set up publishers to accept CPC and CPA payment types .

Set default targeting access

This indicates the information each member receives when targeting your inventory. Members cannot report on this information; it is only used for targeting. The more information you give buyers, the more easily they can target your inventory.

  • URLs - Expose your domains to allow members using allowlists to more easily target your inventory. (You will have the option to expose domains or full URLs to some external buyers.)
  • Category (Universal) - Expose information you provide to allow the buyer to target via universal categories. For more information on assigning categories when creating a placement.
