Managing Offer Visibility & Partner Access

Learn how to control who sees your Offers and how to review Partner applications.

Overview

Need to control who sees and promotes your Offers? You're in the right spot.

What's Changed Last updated May 18, 2026 ▼
May 18, 2026 Updated
Sub ID and Advertiser ID slots expanded from 1–5 to 1–10. Macro Parameter Visibility controls now cover adv1–adv10 (and sub1–sub10) instead of adv1–adv5. The global default at Control Center → Platform Configurations → Global → Set Macro Parameter Visibility for Partners and the per-Partner override at Partners → Manage → [partner] → Set Macro Parameter Visibility both apply across the expanded range.
Apr 23, 2026 Added
Added "Managing Sensitive Data Visibility" section covering Partner-level overrides for adv1-adv10 and Sale Amount.

Good visibility settings help you protect your high-value Offers, prevent fraud, and make sure the right Partners promote the right Offers.

We'll cover how to set up Offer visibility and review Partner applications - all the stuff you need to build a solid Partner program that scales.

Key Terms
Before we dive in, here's a quick rundown of terms you'll see throughout this guide:
-> Offer: A promotional program or campaign that Partners can promote.
-> Partner: Affiliates, publishers, etc. who promote Offers (these can be your Media Buying channels as well, but you hardly need to approve those applications).
-> Visibility Settings: Controls that determine which Partners can see and access Offer.
-> Questionnaire: A customizable form for screening potential Partners.

Managing Sensitive Data Visibility

By default, sensitive advertiser parameters (adv1-adv10) and Sale Amount are hidden from all Partners because they often carry internal business logic, payout rules, or even PII. Some Partners (like meta-networks or specialized ad platforms) need access to these fields to function — so you can now override global visibility on a per-Partner basis.

Settings apply in this order: Partner-level override beats the Global setting. sub1-sub10 remain always visible and aren't affected by these controls.

1
Set the Global Default (Control Center)
Navigate to
Control Center - Platform Configurations - Global
and click
Edit
.
Find
Set Macro Parameter Visibility for Partners
.
Choose
Invisible
(safer default — hidden from everyone) or
Visible
.
When Visible is selected, toggle which fields should be visible globally: adv1-adv10 and/or sale_amount.
Carry over Partner visibility selection from previous setting — enable this only when you want any changes here to overwrite existing per-Partner overrides. Leave it off to preserve Partner-level exceptions.

2
Override for a Specific Partner
Go to
Partners - Manage
and open the Partner you want to grant access to (or add a new one).
Scroll to
Set Macro Parameter Visibility
.
Pick one of three options:
None — explicitly hides adv1-adv10 and sale_amount from this Partner, even if the global setting has them visible.
Custom — pick which fields this Partner can see, one toggle at a time. Ideal for meta-partners that only need specific fields.
Full Visibility — exposes all of adv1-adv10 and sale_amount to this Partner.
Save. Changes apply immediately to the Partner's reporting views.

How It Looks On The Partner Side
Once a Partner has visibility for adv1-adv10 or sale_amount, they'll see those as togglable columns in their Conversion Report (
Reporting - Conversion
) under
Table Actions - Columns Customization
. If you haven't enabled them, those columns simply won't appear in the picker.

Why Use Scoped Visibility?
For meta-partners and specialized traffic sources that need Sale Amount or advertiser parameters to optimize bidding and attribution — without exposing that data to your entire Partner base.

Best Practices

Before Making Visibility Changes
  • Save current Partner approvals
  • Write down current settings
  • Plan how you'll tell Partners
When Changing Settings
  • Understand the impact:
    • Public to Private: All access removed
    • Public to Require Approval: New applications are needed and you'll need to manually add desired partners to the Offer
    • Private to Public: Everyone gains access

Tracking Changes and History

 
   Navigate to your Offer's details page.  
 
   Select the "History" tab.  
 
   Use the date range selector to find specific changes.  
 
   Look for entries labeled "UpdateNetworkOffer" or "PatchNetworkAffiliateVisibility".

What Partners See

Your Partners will see different options based on your settings:

  • Require Approval: "Apply" button available
  • Private: Only visible after approval
  • T&Cs Required: Must accept terms first

Tips

Review your visibility settings regularly to keep them current. Document your approval criteria clearly so your team can make consistent decisions. Use email templates for responses to save time and maintain consistency.

Create application FAQs to answer common questions before they're asked. Monitor Partner performance after approval to ensure they're meeting expectations.

Finally, adjust your requirements based on results to continually improve your program's effectiveness.
