The ability of creating or registering your network on the HOQU platform;

A single database of affiliates and merchants, thanks to which merchants and affiliates have the ability to interact with almost all networks on the platform;

The responsibility for payments to affiliates and receiving money from merchants lies with the affiliate network with which they work;

The currency used for payment for target actions is determined by the network with which you work;

There is a subscription fee for merchants and networks for using the platform. Payment of the subscription fee will be possible in both major currencies and HQX Tokens, which provided for:

- preferential use of functionality when using project tokens (HQX).

- special conditions for first users. Information about them is provided when sending a request for registration.

Registration on the platform

To register on the HOQU platform and to get started, you need to follow the link: http://login.hoqu.com

The first step is to choose which category of users you belong to, and register in the appropriate application:

Affiliate

Merchant

Affiliate Network

Merchants and affiliates must fill in the form to create an account in the appropriate HOQU application.

Registration for affiliate networks will be available only by invitation codes for some time. We are doing this to improve the quality of our service and provide maximum support to users at the beginning of their work.

How to get started with the platform

HOQU for Affiliates

To work with the platform, you need to:

1. Fill in the profile data (Account → Profile).

2. Join the network (more details in the Affiliate Networks section).

3. Create an advertising campaign for a specific offer of the network.

After the campaign is created, the affiliate will receive an affiliate link to which the traffic is sent as part of this campaign. Users following this link to the merchant’s website will take actions, including targeted ones, and the affiliate will receive rewards for them.

Leads in the HOQU platform will be recorded at the time the target action is performed with its parameters being determined in the conditions of the offer.

In order to receive rewards for attracted leads, the affiliate must submit a request for withdrawal of funds. The currency of remuneration is determined in the offer in advance. After receiving the application, the network will pay through one of the methods allowed in the network.

HOQU for Merchants

To work with the platform you need to:

1. Fill in the profile (Account → Profile).

2. Join the network (more details in the Affiliate Networks section).

To join the affiliate network, you must select a network and send a request to join the network. The application will be immediately sent to the representatives of the selected network. After the network approves the application, the network manager will contact the merchant.

3. Provide data for creating offers

The network you joined creates an offer for you. The merchant must provide all the materials to create an offer.

4. Confirm the offer created by the network, to activate the offer.

5. Conduct integration, or add integration codes from the HOQU platform to your resource. Integration instructions will be available later in the Help center, as well as on the offer card.

6. Deposit funds. For the final activation of the offer, the merchant needs to send funds to the network to pay rewards for the leads. The network will replenish the merchant’s balance. Leads will be paid for from this balance after the lead has been confirmed by the merchant.

HOQU for Networks

To start working with the platform you need to:

Register by sending data to us by e-mail and receive an invitation code.

For representatives of networks, as already mentioned earlier, at first registration on the platform will be available only via invitation codes. To register, you need to send a request to our email: info@hoqu.com, after which we will confirm your details and send you an invitation code for further work on the platform.

Data that must be specified for the representative of the Network:

Name and Surname;

Company name;

Country;

Link to your site;

Brief description of the company.

After receiving the code, you need to go through the registration procedure, following the step-by-step instructions, following the link http://login.hoqu.com

2. Fill in the network data.

To work on the HOQU platform, the network owner must fill in the network data.

The network can set up special settings for joining, as well as add managers to its network.

You can view all applications for joining your network in the “Participants” section and accept the merchant’s / affiliate’s application, or reject it altogether.

Only the network can create an offer in the system, which subsequently becomes attached to a specific merchant. The offer itself is created on the basis of information provided by the merchant. Before the offer is made available to affiliates, it must first be confirmed by the merchant. Also, the merchant must have a sufficient balance to pay for leads on the offer.

After the offer is activated, the affiliate will be able to create an offer campaign and get an affiliate link.

Information about existing campaigns can be found in the “Campaigns” section.

When creating an offer, the network can indicate in the settings “Working conditions”: “Publicity”. In this case, when the affiliate creates the campaign, the campaign will first be moderated. The network conducts moderation and only after that the affiliate gets an affiliate link.

Key sections of the application

1. Leads

A lead is a target action of a potential client, which is defined in the offer.

To view information about leads, go to the “Leads” section. This page will display a list of your leads with such data as: ID, status, date, offer, payout.

The merchant/ affiliate/ network can view information on leads in the “Leads” section and reports on this section by day and by offers.

2. Dashboard

The merchant/ affiliate/ network can view basic information in the Dashboard section, which shows general information on the system in the form of graphs (earnings / payments / expenses for ads / web earnings / conversion) and tables.

3. In the Analytics section you can see the earnings / payments and conversion analytics.

4. Offers

The offer is an merchant’s advertising offer, which is entered into an affiliate network.

The offer is created for the merchant via an application to the network.

The offer includes:

Basic data (name, category, type, description, rules)

Settings (country, status, traffic sources, logo, targeting, limits)

5. Affiliate networks

How to join a network?

To join a network, go to “Networks” → All networks.

In the general list of networks, it is possible to view information about each network and join the one of interest. In order to join a network, you must click on the “Join” button on the network card. If the network has the Auto Confirmation setting, then the merchant automatically joins the network. If this setting is not present, then the application for connection will be immediately sent to the network. The merchant can work with different networks.

The network can set the settings for joining. If you do not meet the requirements of the network to join, you will not be able to join this network.

How to disconnect from a network?

In order to disconnect from the network, you must select Networks → My Networks.

On the network card you want to leave, click on the “Leave” button.

If you already have offers on the network you want to leave, then all active offers will be deactivated when you disconnect from the network.

6. Tickets

If any questions arise, the merchant/ affiliate can ask the network using the ticket system (you can create a ticket using the side menu of our interface: support — section tickets and personal manager). In addition, each affiliate or merchant is assigned a network manager, whose contacts are displayed in the “Support -> Personal Manager” section, which can also be contacted to resolve issues.

All questions relating to the operation of the platform, suggestions and comments can be sent to the email support@hoqu.com. In addition, for a quick consultation, the network can use the chat in the application for networks.
