Flights

Line-item flights allow for granular control over the timing of line-item delivery. Flights can strictly control delivery time frames, and each can have their own budget. Read more about how to set up line item flights here.

Frequency Caps

When trafficking a Campaign and/or Line Item, you have the option of setting a Frequency Cap to restrict the number of times a particular ad will be shown to a particular user. Frequency is typically determined by the ID found in the bid request which corresponds to the Beeswax cookie ID on web traffic, and the Device ID on mobile in-app traffic. We also have additional ID types you can frequency cap on. Read more on how to set up frequency caps here.

Vendor Fees

Vendor Fees in the Beeswax platform are a way to optionally include serving costs associated with third-party vendors into Beeswax media spend and reporting. You can also create custom Vendor Fees to withhold your own fee (read here). Vendor Fees can be applied at the campaign or line item level and allow clients to set a budget at the respective level that includes both media spend and vendor fees.
