Payment Rule service

A payment rule defines the terms by which a network pays one of its managed publishers. A network may have more than one set of payment terms with a publisher. For instance, traffic originating from certain geographic areas may have different revenue sharing agreement terms.

Note

Targeting of advertisers, line items, or campaigns via the Placement Service will override any targeting of those objects via this service's optional profile_id.
