Release notes
Upcoming features
See below a list of our planned upcoming features. Please note that although we plan to launch features, it's not guaranteed that they will ever launch.
| Target product | Feature |
|---|---|
| Transparent model |
Variable revenue share
You'll be able to create different revenue share rates, and assign publisher IDs to them. |
| Transparent model |
Deductions in child account payments
Although you can filter the Hosted clients report by child account, the earnings shown are estimated earnings and don't include any deductions. We'll add the ability to see deductions in child account payments. |
| Transparent model |
Insights into child account policy violations
We'll add functionality to allow you to view policy violations on child accounts that have resulted on traffic managed by your platform account (i.e. all ad requests that have the data-ad-host parameter present).
|
| Transparent model |
New sign up flow option
We'll add a third sign up flow option. This will be a fully-assisted API flow using a new API. |
| Transparent model |
Customized onboarding instructions for non-platform domains
Users can sign up directly via AdSense. If AdSense doesn't recognise the domain as belonging to a platform, generic onboarding instructions are displayed. With this launch, we'll read the value of the "Platform domain" meta tag, and update the onboarding instructions to be customized for your platform. |
