A direct advertiser is the actual owner of an offer — the product or service being promoted — who works with affiliates directly, without intermediaries like CPA networks. Think of it as going straight to the source, without middlemen taking a big cut of your earnings.

Key Features of Working with Direct Advertisers:

• Full payouts: Since there’s no network in between, you get the complete rate instead of losing 20–30% to a CPA network’s margin.
• Faster and more transparent payments: The advertiser tracks everything from the first click to the payout, so you avoid “lost” conversions or unexplained delays.
• Easier scaling: Traffic caps (limits on how much traffic you can send) are often more flexible, allowing you to scale campaigns more aggressively.

Risks to Keep in Mind:
Working with a direct advertiser isn’t always risk-free. One common issue is hidden shaving — when your reported conversions or payouts are quietly reduced without a fair reason.
