CPA
CPA is a payment model in which the advertiser pays a reward for a specific user action, such as registration, payment, deposit, or app installation.
CPA is one of the most popular models in affiliate marketing due to its clear terms and predictable economics.
Features of the CPA model
The CPA model is focused on a specific result rather than just clicks or impressions:
- Payment only for the actual result
- Clearly defined target action
- Fixed payout
- Traffic quality control
The more complex the target action, the higher the CPA rate.
Types of CPA models
CPA has several subtypes, differing by the type of target action and user requirements:
- CPL (Cost Per Lead)
- CPS (Cost Per Sale)
- CPI (Cost Per Install)
CPL remains the most common variant in affiliate marketing.
