What is BidWave?
BidWave is a performance DSP where advertisers pay per install, action, or click (CPI, CPA, CPC) on net settlement, and supply partners bring verified, accountable inventory to that demand.
How is BidWave priced?
Advertisers set a payout per outcome and fund a capped budget. Platform terms are agreed at onboarding, and reporting shows gross outcomes, reversals, and net billable outcomes.
What happens when a conversion reverses?
For CPI and CPA campaigns, the payout returns to the advertiser budget, caps recover, and the reversal feeds supply quality scoring. The loss comes out of BidWave margin, so the invoice follows net outcomes.
Who counts the outcome?
For CPI and CPA pilots, the advertiser's MMP or postback source is the referee. We agree the tracking path and discrepancy tolerance before spend starts.
What can advertisers control?
Advertisers can define objective, payout, budget, pacing, caps, targeting, schedule, creatives, attribution, and optional retargeting boosts before a campaign goes live.
What can supply partners bring?
Supply partners can model web, app, CTV, audio, game, and DOOH inventory, attach authorization and reseller context, apply brand controls, and review yield by property, placement and more.
How does BidWave handle supply quality?
Authorization files, reseller declarations, and supply-chain signals are checked against registered inventory, invalid traffic is filtered out, and reversal rates feed ongoing supply quality scoring - so spend can be evaluated before and after delivery.
How should we start?
Start with one controlled pilot: one measurable campaign with a hard budget from the demand side, or one clearly described supply package from the supply side. Scale only on verified results.
