Offers

An Offer is like a Lander but built for conversion-driven destinations — affiliate offers, paid sales pages, lead-gen forms with revenue. Offers add three things landers don't have: payout configuration, conversion caps, and fallback to an alternative offer when capped or disabled.

When to Use an Offer vs a Lander

Use an Offer when:

  • The destination has a payout (CPA, CPL, CPS) — you earn money per conversion.
  • You need to cap conversions (e.g. "stop sending traffic after 100 conversions today").
  • The destination is from an affiliate network (and you want to track which network).
  • You want a fallback if the offer goes down or hits its cap.

Use a Lander when none of the above apply — it's just your own landing page.

Offer Fields

Open Click Tracking → Offers → New Offer.

Name

Human-readable label. Shows up in offer pickers, reports, and tooltips.

Example: Acme VPN — 7 Day Trial

URL

The destination URL. Same URL-token support as landers — use {click_id}, {utm_source}, {country_code}, etc. See URL Tokens Reference.

Example:

https://offer-network.com/track?offer=12345&aff_id=YOUR_ID&click_id={click_id}&country={country_code}

Country

ISO country code. Optional. Used to match the offer to visitors by geo when adding the offer to a path with geo distribution.

Group

Optional category. Free-form text.

Example: Health Niche, Finance, SaaS Trials.

Tags

Optional keyword tags. Cross-cutting filters.

Affiliate Network Settings

If the offer comes from an affiliate network, fill these in. They're used purely for organization and reporting (showing "$50K from MaxBounty this month").

Affiliate Network ID

The internal Votel reference to a configured affiliate network (set up separately). Optional.

Affiliate Network Name

Free-form text label for the network. Shows up in reports.

Example: MaxBounty, ClickBank, OfferVault.

Payout Settings

How much you earn per conversion. Used in reports for revenue, ROI, EPC, and ROAS calculations.

Payout Amount

The base payout per conversion.

Example: 30.00 (you earn $30 per conversion).

Payout Currency

ISO currency code. Defaults to USD. Multi-currency reporting groups by this field.

Payout Auto

When enabled, the payout amount is read dynamically from URL parameters (e.g. the affiliate network sends back ?payout=35.00 on conversion). When OFF, the static Payout Amount is used.

Enable this if your affiliate network varies the payout per conversion (e.g. "you earn $30 normally, $50 for premium upgrades").

Payout Upsell

Optional. Additional payout amount for upsell conversions, on top of the base.

Example: Payout Amount = 30, Payout Upsell = 15. Base conversion earns $30; an upsell after the base earns an additional $15 → $45 total for that visitor.

Conversion Cap Settings

Caps let you stop sending traffic to an offer once it reaches a certain conversion count. Useful when:

  • The offer has a daily limit from the network.
  • You want to spread spend across multiple offers.
  • You're testing and want to cap exposure.

Conversion Cap Enabled

Master toggle. When OFF, no caps apply. When ON, the cap settings below take effect.

Max Cap

The numeric cap. Once reached, the offer stops being picked.

Example: 100 (after 100 conversions, the offer is paused).

Cap Reset Start

Timestamp when the cap counter resets. Used with Cap Reset Interval to define the rolling window.

Example: 2026-04-29 00:00:00 UTC — the start of the daily reset cycle.

Cap Reset Interval (seconds)

How often the cap resets. Set to 86400 (one day) for a daily cap, 604800 for a weekly cap.

Example: Cap = 100, reset interval = 86400. The offer accepts up to 100 conversions per 24-hour window. After 24 hours, the counter resets.

What Happens at the Cap

When the cap is reached, the offer is disabled for the rest of the cap window. The system skips it when picking destinations.

If the offer has an Alternative Offer configured, traffic flows there instead.

Alternative Offer

When this offer is unavailable (cap reached, disabled, etc.), the system tries the alternative offer next.

Alternative Offer ID

Reference to another offer that should receive traffic when this one is paused. Optional.

This creates a fallback chain: Offer A → Offer B → (link's default path).

Example: Set up "Acme VPN — 7 Day Trial" with Alternative Offer = Acme VPN — 14 Day Trial. When the 7-day trial caps out, traffic shifts to the 14-day trial automatically.

Priority and Weight

Priority

Within a path, offers with higher priority are tried first. If you have two offers in the same path with priority 10 and priority 5, the priority-10 one is picked first; only if it's disabled/capped does the priority-5 one get a turn.

Weight

Like landers — used for weighted-random selection within a path. Higher weight = picked more often.

When mixing offers and landers in a path, both weights are evaluated together.

Enabled

When OFF, this offer is skipped everywhere. Master kill-switch.

Notes

Free-form internal notes.

Same flow as landers:

  1. Open the link, in any path click Add Offer.
  2. Pick the offer from the dropdown — its URL fills in automatically.
  3. Optionally override the per-link weight.

The same offer can appear in many links. Cap counters are per-offer (not per-link) — if Offer X is capped at 100 conversions/day across all links, hitting that 100 in any link pauses Offer X everywhere for the rest of the window.

Worked Example: Capped Offer with Fallback

Goal: send traffic to a high-paying affiliate offer until its daily cap, then fall back to a lower-paying offer.

Step 1: Create the primary offer.

FieldValue
NameAcme VPN Premium ($45)
URLhttps://network.com/?offer=premium&click_id={click_id}
Payout Amount45.00
Affiliate NetworkMaxBounty
Conversion Cap EnabledON
Max Cap100
Cap Reset Interval86400 (daily)
Alternative OfferAcme VPN Standard ($25)
Priority10

Step 2: Create the fallback offer.

FieldValue
NameAcme VPN Standard ($25)
URLhttps://network.com/?offer=standard&click_id={click_id}
Payout Amount25.00
Conversion Cap EnabledOFF (no cap)
Priority5

Step 3: Add the primary offer to your link's path.

Visitors get sent to "Premium" until 100 conversions clear in the day. After that, the system automatically uses the alternative ("Standard") for the rest of the day. Counter resets at the next 24-hour mark.

You earn $45 × 100 = $4,500 from premium each day, plus $25 × N for the overflow. No manual cap monitoring needed.
