Build awareness that resonates

Video captures attention faster than any static format, helping merchants introduce their brand story in a way audiences remember. The combination of sight, sound, and movement ensures your message stands out, even in crowded digital spaces. It is an ideal format for creating strong first impressions and improving visibility across relevant contexts.

Drive meaningful engagement

Emotion plays a vital role in consumer behaviour, and video allows you to connect on a human level. By using expressive visuals and sound, merchants can keep audiences engaged longer and encourage interaction with products or services. The result is deeper brand understanding and stronger audience connection throughout the customer journey.

Deliver measurable conversions

Performance-based Video Ads link creative storytelling directly to tangible outcomes. Every view, click, and interaction is tracked in real time, allowing you to see what drives action. This approach combines the emotional impact of video with the accountability of data, helping you refine campaigns for improved conversion and long-term results.

Video Ads FAQs
FAQs for merchants
How can I start using Video Ads as an advertiser?
To get started, log in to your merchant dashboard and upload your video under Affiliate Management > Promotion Material > Videos. You add basic metadata such as a name, category, target URL, and call-to-action text. Once uploaded, the video becomes available to affiliates within the campaign and can start generating engagement and conversions based on your configured commission settings.
How do Video Ads work within a TradeTracker campaign?
Video Ads are uploaded as campaign promotion material and distributed by affiliates across their content. Playback, engagement, clicks, and conversions are tracked within the same attribution framework as other TradeTracker creatives.
What video formats and specifications can I upload?
You can upload MP4 or WebM videos up to 90 seconds long. There are no fixed dimension requirements. Videos can be horizontal, vertical, or square and will adapt to different placements used by affiliates.
When does video playback start and count as engagement?
A video only starts playing when it is fully visible in the user’s viewport. Engagement is counted in completed 3-second chunks of verified playtime. Partial viewing does not count.
How are Video Ads billed?
You are charged per completed 3-second chunk of video playtime. This ensures you only pay for actual viewing time rather than impressions or assumed visibility.
Can I still use standard CPA commissions with Video Ads?
Yes. If a user clicks the video or its call-to-action and completes a configured action, the regular CPA commission applies. Video engagement commissions and CPA commissions are calculated separately.
Where do I set video engagement commissions?
Video engagement commissions are configured in the campaign commission table. You can define values per segment or per affiliate, alongside your existing click-based commission rules.
What reporting is available for Video Ads?
You can monitor video starts, playtime, completed chunks, clicks, and total video-related costs in real time. Reporting is aggregated per video, affiliate, and date for full transparency.
How are Video Ads costs shown on invoices?
Video engagement commissions appear as a separate line item on invoices and payment notices. This keeps video costs clearly distinguishable from standard CPA-based commissions.
FAQs for affiliates
Where can I find Video Ads in my affiliate account?
You can access Video Ads by logging into your affiliate dashboard and navigating to Creatives > Videos. Filters are available to show videos from campaigns you are subscribed to.
How do I generate a Video Ad for use on my website?
Select the video you want to promote and click Generate code. You can customise the video settings and then copy the generated HTML embed code for use on your website or supported channels.
Which elements of a Video Ad can I customise?
Before generating the embed code, you can customise layout options, call-to-action placement, CTA text, supporting text, button text, colours, hover behaviour, video size settings, running text lines, and rich text blocks below the video.
Can I preview the Video Ad before publishing it?
Yes. A live preview is shown while you configure the video. Any changes you make are reflected immediately in the preview window before you copy the embed code.
How are clicks and conversions from Video Ads tracked?
Clicks from Video Ads are tracked as part of the regular conversion path. If a user clicks through the video and completes a configured action, the conversion is recognised within the attribution window.
How does video engagement commission work for affiliates?
In addition to standard clickout commissions, you may earn video engagement commission based on play depth. For every completed 3-second chunk of video playtime, a commission is awarded if the merchant has enabled this commission type.
When does video playtime count as engagement?
Video playtime is only counted when the video is fully visible in the user’s viewport. Engagement is measured in completed seconds and grouped into 3-second chunks.
Which performance metrics are available for Video Ads?
You can track video starts, clicks, total chunks played, completed playtime in seconds, video completes, and the additional commission earned from video engagement.
