Connect your offers to WatchCat: a free storefront in the catalog, a channel that instantly pushes new offers to subscribers — and less churn, because partners learn about changes in time.
Every self-respecting affiliate network and every direct advertiser loves its webmasters, arbitrage teams and big partners. If you or your network personally don't love them — our condolences, you'll go broke soon.
And if you do love them — WatchCat helps you from both sides at once: keep the ones already with you, and bring in new ones looking for offers in our catalog. Every partner likes to stay on top of the changes to their offers, and those changes come suddenly — and not everyone reads your blog or socials in time. The moment slips by, and you lose money: because a webmaster left for a competitor, or because of compensation.
The best way to avoid this is to keep all your offers under automatic watch. That's exactly what our service does. And along the way your network lands in an open catalog, where webmasters looking for new offers find it and browse it. The user is happy, you're happy, everyone's happy.
Your network gets a card with a description and offer list, seen and browsed by every webmaster on the service. Free, precisely-targeted exposure for the exact people looking right now for where to send traffic.
Webmasters subscribe to your network, and every new offer instantly reaches subscribers in their feed, e-mail and Telegram. Launch an offer and it's known at once.
WatchCat shows the state of your export. A live, reliably-responding network looks trustworthy — and that's the first thing a webmaster checks.
Partners learn about changes in time and don't storm off to a competitor over a rate that "suddenly dropped." Fewer conflicts, fewer compensations.
One is the open market and a scramble for webmasters. The other is quiet, cozy monitoring for your own crowd. Choose which one you swallow.
Everyone sees the network, and anyone can subscribe. New offers fan out to all subscribers instantly, and your card sits in the open catalog. Welcome to the real world: fierce competition on payouts and an open fight for the webmaster. Offer the best terms — take the traffic. Offer so-so ones — they keep scrolling.
Stay in your cozy corner: in the catalog only VIP users see the network. A regular webmaster can add your offer only by a direct link, and only if they already have access to the network itself. No crowd, no random gawkers — cozy monitoring for your own people and work with vetted folks only.
So who is this VIP of yours? A VIP is only a hand-approved, living human — definitely not a bot, and definitely not someone who loves dumping other people's private offers into the public to show them off. We look at every single one personally.
One does not simply become VIP.
Using the API you provide, we periodically extract the offer list into our catalog.
They find an offer in the catalog, follow the whole network, or add an offer to track private payouts.
And we tell the webmaster right away, or twice a day, by e-mail or on Telegram.
Your network needs an API that exports offers and payouts. Here's what we need from it.
The API function returns the list of all active offers of the network available to the user. Ideally without pagination, but that isn't critical.
The offer list must include, at minimum, an ID and a name. Ideally — the offer status (active / disabled). If there's no status, we treat an offer as disabled once it disappears from the export.
Each offer has a list of goals (or geos) with payout amounts. Ideally right in the same function, without extra requests.
Each goal has a name and at least one payout amount. We can handle a base price, an upsell, a cross-sell and a percentage. The currency is highly desirable; where available — geo, product price, payout model (CPS, CPA, CPL, CoD, RS, CPC) and hold.
The function returns data for a user's API key — accounting for their individual payouts and private offers. It isn't critical, but it's very, very useful.
It's desirable that the function lets us request a single offer by its ID — that's exactly how we export users' private offers and payouts.
An important note! AlterCPA WatchCat is a free project for everyone involved. No, we won't pay you — we're doing this for your webmasters. No, you won't pay us either, though we wouldn't mind. And even webmasters won't pay you or us.
Because we're AlterCPA. Because we can.
