A special payout is a publisher-specific WeGet and/or TheyGet that overrides the offer's default payout for that publisher. It sits on the top of the payout hierarchy:
Special publisher payout → Targeted payout → Default payout
Use it when you've agreed a different rate with a specific publisher for a particular offer.
How to set a special payout
Go to Offers → [Offer name] → Publishers tab
Select the Event you want to set the payout for from the Event filter dropdown
ℹ️ For CPI offers, select Default. For CPA offers with post-install events, select the specific event (e.g. Purchase, Registration).
Switch to the Payout tab in the edit panel
Click Edit
Enter the new WeGet and/or TheyGet values and click Save
Identifying special payouts
In the Publishers tab, special payouts are shown with an (S) indicator next to the payout value. Default payouts show no indicator.
Removing a special payout
To revert a publisher back to the offer's default payout:
Go to the publisher's Payout tab as above
Click Edit
Delete special WeGet/TheyGet value
Click Save
Setting a default margin for a publisher
Instead of setting a special payout per offer, you can set a global margin % on a publisher. When this publisher is approved on any offer, their TheyGet is automatically calculated as WeGet × (1 − margin%).
Go to Publishers → [Publisher name] → Offers tab
Click Update Margin
Enter the margin percentage
Click Save
Example: If you set a 30% publisher margin and the offer WeGet is $10, the publisher's TheyGet will be automatically set to $7.
ℹ️ Payouts set via the default publisher margin are treated as special payouts (S) - they appear with the (S) indicator in the Publishers tab and follow the same hierarchy (below targeted payouts, above default offer payouts).
