Create an Advertiser

This is the first record you create on a new network. Until an advertiser exists, no campaign can be saved against one.

The Form

Go to Advertisers → Create New.

AffClix new advertiser form showing account credentials, identity fields, organisation details and a security block with a postback IP whitelist field
The new advertiser form. Note the Security block at the bottom.

Account Credentials

FieldNotes
Email AddressLogin for the advertiser portal, and where notifications go. Unique per network.
PasswordInitial portal password. Deliver it separately from the address itself.
Portal access is optional but usually worth it

An advertiser who can see live numbers themselves sends far fewer "how did yesterday go" emails, and discrepancies surface while they are still small. See the Advertiser Portal.

Personal and Organisation

FieldNotes
First / Last NameYour day-to-day contact at the client.
GenderOptional profile field.
StatusActive, Pending or Rejected.
Mobile NumberWith country code.
CompanyThe legal entity you invoice. Use the registered name, not the trading brand.
WebsiteTheir main property.
Account ManagerWhich of your team owns the relationship.

Postback IP Whitelist

The Security block takes a comma-separated list of IP addresses. Only those addresses may fire conversion postbacks for this advertiser's campaigns. Leave it blank and postbacks are accepted from anywhere.

Whitelist format
203.0.113.10, 203.0.113.11, 198.51.100.42
Fill this in before the campaign goes live

A postback URL with no IP restriction will pay out for any request that reaches it. Ask the advertiser for their outbound server IPs during technical onboarding — they will have them, and the question signals that you take conversion integrity seriously.

If conversions suddenly stop

Check this field first. An advertiser who moved hosting or added a region will be firing postbacks from an address that is not on the list, and the rejection is silent from their side.

What to Do Next

  1. Create their first campaign

    See Create a Campaign.

  2. Generate and send the postback URL

    Built on the campaign's Event tab — see Postback Setup.

  3. Fire a test conversion end to end

    Confirm it lands in the Conversion Report before opening traffic.

Technical Onboarding

Get these answers before the first click. Every one of them causes a launch delay if left until later.

Which parameter carries our click ID? Every platform names it differently.
What are your outbound server IPs? For the whitelist above.
Do you send a unique transaction or order ID? Required to deduplicate retried postbacks.
Do you send sale value and currency? Needed for any percentage-based model.
How long until a conversion is confirmed? This sets the validation window on the campaign.
What is your offer ID for this campaign? Goes in External Campaign ID for reconciliation.
