PIN-Submit

Types of offers

Payment for confirmed subscription (CPA)

• The partner receives a reward for each user who enters the PIN and activates the subscription
• The payout depends on the region, offer, and subscription duration
• The most popular and straightforward monetization model

Example: A user subscribes to a “Horoscope” service via PIN, and the partner earns $0.50 for each confirmed subscribed number.

Recurring payments (Subscriptions / Recurring)

• The partner earns revenue not only for the first PIN confirmation but also for each subsequent paid subscription
• Commonly used for services with regular notifications (jokes, daily horoscope, exchange rates, etc.)
• Revenue grows with subscriber retention

Example: A weather forecast subscription costs $2 per week. The partner receives a percentage every week while the user remains active.

Revenue Share with mobile network operators

• The partner receives a share of the revenue charged by the mobile operator from the user’s balance
• The payout may be fixed or percentage-based
• It is important to consider operator commissions and revenue share terms

Example: A subscriber pays $1 for a subscription; the partner receives $0.60, while the rest goes to the operator.

Cross-sell and upsell within PIN Submit offers

• Additional subscriptions or services are offered after PIN confirmation
• Increases the average revenue per user
• Often implemented on landing pages or in push notifications after initial confirmation

Example: After subscribing to a “Jokes” service, users are offered a “Horoscope + Weather” bundle, and the partner receives an additional payout for the second subscription.

Geo and segmentation-based monetization

• Revenue depends on region, operator, and subscriber demographics
• Premium GEOs (EU, US, Asia) usually pay higher, while CIS regions tend to have lower payouts
• GEO optimization increases overall campaign profitability

Example: The same offer may generate $1.20 per subscription in Germany and $0.40 in Russia.
