CPS
CPS is a payment model in which the reward is paid only after the user completes and pays for a purchase of a product or service.
CPS is considered one of the most complex and high-cost payment models because it requires maximum user engagement.
Features of the CPS model
CPS focuses on the advertiser’s actual revenue, which imposes strict requirements on traffic quality:
- Payment only after a sale
- High payouts
- Long hold periods
- Strict validation
Due to the long decision-making cycle, the hold period for CPS can be significantly longer than in other models.
Where CPS is used
CPS is most commonly applied in e-commerce and service offers:
- Product offers
- Subscriptions
- Services and platforms
- Digital products
With the right traffic setup, CPS can provide stable and predictable income.
What is CPS in simple terms?
CPS is when you get paid only after a real purchase is made.
