CPT

Cost Per Transaction

Pay when a specific transaction or trigger event completes. Ideal for fintech, e-commerce, and subscription-based models.

Define the Trigger

A transaction trigger can be anything from a completed purchase to a subscription renewal. The key is precision in definition.

  • Payment completions, subscription activations, in-app purchases
  • Minimum transaction value thresholds to filter low-quality events
  • Multi-step trigger validation (intent signal + transaction confirmation)

Validation and Risk

Transaction fraud can be costly. We validate every trigger against multiple signals to ensure authenticity.

  • Payment processor confirmation before payout triggers
  • Chargeback and refund monitoring with automatic commission clawback
  • Velocity checks to detect anomalous transaction patterns

Pricing Strategy

CPT pricing must balance publisher incentives with advertiser margins. We model pricing around transaction economics.

  • Percentage-of-transaction-value models for variable pricing
  • Fixed-fee per transaction for predictable unit economics
  • Hybrid models with base fee plus performance bonus

Optimization

Transaction campaigns optimize differently from volume campaigns. The focus shifts to transaction value and repeat behavior.

  • Average order value (AOV) optimization through audience segmentation
  • Repeat transaction rate tracking for LTV-based bidding
  • Cart abandonment retargeting to recover high-intent users
