Post-Installation Setup

Once the core platform is installed and configured, follow these essential steps to operationalize your network and begin accepting publishers.

🌐 Network Integrations

Preads Platform features native integration with 28+ industry-leading offerwall and survey networks.

1. Activating a Network

Navigate to Admin → Networks → External Networks to view the collection of integrated providers.

  • Credentials: Each network requires specific API keys, Publisher IDs, or Media IDs. Use the Edit button on any network to enter your provider credentials.
  • Auto-Import: Enable this toggle to allow the system to automatically fetch and update offers from the network's API.
  • Commission Control: Set your global payout ratio (e.g., 80%) to automatically define publisher earnings based on the network's raw payout.

2. Postback Configuration

To track conversions accurately, you must set the Postback URL in each network's partner dashboard.

Standard Postback Template:

https://your-domain.com/api/postback/network-slug?click_id={click_id}&payout={payout}

Replace network-slug with the specific network's identifier (e.g., adgate, torox).

💰 Payout & Payment Methods

Manage how you pay your publishers at Admin → Payment Methods.

1. Custom Payment Gateways

The platform allows you to create unlimited custom payout methods (e.g., PayPal, Wire Transfer, Crypto).

  • Required Fields: Define exactly what information the publisher must provide (e.g., "PayPal Email Address" or "IBAN").
  • Thresholds & Fees: Set minimum/maximum withdrawal limits and fixed or percentage-based processing fees for each method.
  • Exchange Rates: If paying in a currency different from your base site currency, define the static exchange rate here.

🛡️ Enterprise Fraud Prevention

Configure your multi-layered defense system at Admin → Fraud Detection.

1. IP Intelligence Providers

Preads Platform integrates with the world's leading fraud databases. Enter your API keys for:

  • IPQualityScore (Recommended)
  • IPHub
  • ProxyCheck
  • AbuseIPDB
  • IPInfo
  • MaxMind

2. Behavioral Rules

Set strictly enforced rules to automatically flag or block suspicious activity:

  • VPN/Proxy Blocking: Prevent users from bypassing regional offer restrictions.
  • Multi-Account Detection: Uses device fingerprinting to stop users from creating multiple accounts.
  • Velocity Checks: Automatically flags publishers with suspiciously high conversion rates in short periods.

📧 Communications Hub

Email Templates

Located at Admin → Settings → Email Templates, the platform includes a complete suite of automated notifications.

Every template supports dynamic variables like {name}, {amount}, {transaction_id}, and {site_name}. Ensure you review and brand the following:

  • Publisher Welcome: Sent immediately upon registration.
  • Payout Notifications: Updates for requested, completed, and rejected withdrawals.
  • Account Status: Alerts for application approval or rejection.

📄 Platform Content (CMS)

Finalize your public-facing documents at Admin → CMS → Pages.

A professional network must publish the following legal documents before going live:

  1. Terms of Service: Detailed rules for your publishers.
  2. Privacy Policy: Data handling and cookie compliance.
  3. FAQ: A comprehensive help center to reduce support tickets.
