Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is View Through Attribution?

  • Enable Impressions: Go to the Tracking tab in the offer’s edit page and activate the “Allow impressions” option.

  • Impressions Destination URL: Add the advertiser’s impression link in the designated field. Append the {aimp_id} macro to this URL to pass the unique Affise impression identifier to the advertiser.

  • Postback Setup: For accurate attribution, the advertiser must send this identifier back to Affise in the postback URL using the &aimp_id= parameter.

  • Attribution Window: Use the “Click & Impression session lifespan” settings to define the lookback window (typically 24 hours to 7 days) during which an impression can be credited for a conversion.

3. Which Affise plans include VTA?

VTA is a specialized feature often tied to specific usage limits or platform products:

  • Included Impressions: Most standard Affise Pricing Plans (Beginner, Core, Expand) include a set volume of impressions (e.g., 5M to 20M per month), but the VTA feature itself may require specific activation.

  • Product Tiers: Advanced attribution features like VTA are core components of Affise Performance and Affise MMP.

  • Confirmation: Because specific features can vary by contract, contacting your account manager or support@affise.com is the standard way to verify VTA’s availability for your specific plan.
