General settings

1. Account type – select account type that affects a set of available fields and blocks for configuration.
Follow Call publisher settings article to read about call publishes.
2. Publisher ID is a unique ID of the publisher in the PX platform.
3. Traffic type - the type of the publisher depending on how leads are captured (Mobile, Call Center, Search, Email, Premium Display, Path, Contextual, Mobile Premium Display, Offer Wall, Mobile Path, All/Mixed or Undefined).
4. Publisher name - the internal name of the publisher.
5. Fixed pricing - click Yes to pay a fixed amount for each lead from this publisher.
6. Ping post type - set Exclusive (default), Shared or Undersold ping post types or None to set Direct post for this publisher.
7. Margin (85% by default) - set margin percentage for this publisher. Margin field is changed to Publisher's share if Fixed pricing is set to No.
8. Fixed price is the amount of money that you pay to the publisher for each lead when Fixed pricing is enabled. This field allows firing pixels for leads only when the amount of the fixed price is reached.
9. Min price - the minimum amount of money that this publisher wants to receive for each of their leads. In other words, if сampaign's bid is less than Min price, the lead won't be sold to this сampaign.
- For ping post publishers, when the campaign's bid is lower than Min price on ping, Bid too low error is sent to the publisher's response and displayed in Transactions ping post report.
- If the direct post publisher sends another Min price in the lead request, it has a higher priority than Min price in Publisher settings.

10. Ping timeout (25s by default) – the maximum period of time, during which PX must send a ping response to the publisher with a bid.
Bids sent from buyers later than selected in Ping timeout field aren't taken into account.
