HelpIconTraffic Caps

Traffic Caps allow you to set transaction levels at both the campaign or affiliate level.  All caps are tallied off the approved transaction for the specific campaign they were setup for.  You have the ability to specify the number of Approved transactions "Per Day, "Per Month, or "In Total.  Once the cap is met, LinkTrust will redirect all new clicks to the parameters specified at the campaign level "Filters" Traffic Cap.  All traffic caps are “soft” or approximate caps, so it is recommended that caps are set accordingly.

Soft Cap - Once the cap has been met, there is a possibility that other consumers have already clicked through on the campaign's tracking link.  If they clicked through before the cap was met, there is a possibility that the consumer could still convert.  Thus, the approved transaction will be credited to the affiliate.
