Verification

Publisher verification is the process through which Adstract confirms that your account is eligible for paid production traffic. Verification is not automatic at signup — you must meet a set of requirements before you can request it.

Verification prerequisites

Before you can request verification, you must complete all of the following:

1. Active platform — You must have at least one platform created and in an active state. See Platform Creation.
2. 200 unique ad clicks — You must generate at least 200 unique ad clicks using a Sandbox API key. Sandbox traffic is not paid and exists solely to demonstrate integration quality and traffic eligibility.
3. Beneficiary setup — You must have a valid beneficiary (payment details) configured on your account. See Beneficiary Setup.

How to request verification

Once all prerequisites are met:

1. Open your Publisher dashboard.
2. Navigate to the Verification section.
3. Click Request Verification.
4. Your account enters a pending review state.

What happens during review

• An Adstract administrator reviews your account, platform, and sandbox traffic data.
• Review time varies depending on volume.
• You will be notified when your verification status changes.

After approval

Once your verification is approved:

• You can create a Billing API key for your platform. See Billing Key.
• All valid traffic generated with a Billing key is eligible for payment.
• Sandbox keys remain available but traffic from them is never paid.

Important

• Verification cannot be requested until all three prerequisites above are fully satisfied.
• If your request is still under review, wait for the administrator decision before contacting support.

Next steps

• After verification is approved, continue to Billing Key to create your production API key.
