Microsoft Invest - Create a partner fee

You must have Network-level access to perform this task.

  1. Go to the Fees screen (hover over your member name in the upper-right corner of the menu bar and click Fees).
  2. Click + New.
  3. Fill out the fee overview and click Next.
    1. Enter a fee name that will make sense to other people.
    2. Select a fee vendor. If your vendor isn't listed, select one of the custom vendors to represent them.
    3. Select a fee type. For more information, see Fee Type.
    4. Optionally enter a longer fee description.
  4. Define the fee calculation and click Next. For more information, see Fee Calculations.
    1. Select % (percentage) or CPM. If you select CPM, select a currency.

      Note

      Line item currency is inherited from the advertiser. If a fee is created in a currency other than the line item currency, then we will automatically convert the fee to the line item currency at the time of transaction.

    2. Select a calculation method.

  5. Make the fee eligible for advertisers.
    1. Select the advertisers for which the fee should be eligible.
    2. Determine whether the fee should be required for all line items.
    3. Determine the supply type(s) to which the fee applies (Open Exchange Buys, Managed Buys, or Deals).

Important

If a fee is required for all line items, it will be required for all newly created line items and any line items that are opened and edited. Users will not be able to remove the fee from the line item. If you decide you do not want the fee to apply to a line item after all, you must first change the partner fee to be optional, and then remove the fee from the line item.
