Partner Fee service

  • Artigo

Note

Partner Fees are an enhancement and replacement for broker fees for augmented line items (ALIs).

If you need to reserve a portion of your budget for third-party costs (costs owed to parties other than the publisher), you can define this information with the Partner Fee service. Fees can be tracked on a CPM, cost share, or revenue share basis, and can be applied to multiple advertisers and line items, if desired. A single advertiser or line item can have multiple fees applied.

Common fees you might need to budget for are:

  • Advertiser ad serving fees and creative hosting fees, which are charged for delivering a line item's creative assets.
  • Data fees that are not cleared by Xandr as part of the Data Marketplace.
  • Post-bid reporting fees – for example, using a pixel to track where impressions are served and then auditing retroactively how many transactions violated brand safety standards.
  • Revenue share agreements with other ad tech partners.
  • Incremental fees charged by an intermediary to the advertiser, such as a managed service fee or consulting fee.
