Publisher payouts are not advertiser deposits
The same ad network can show two money directions. Mixing them is the most common directory error.
An advertiser deposit funds an ad account. A publisher payout is money the network owes a site owner. An affiliate FTD is a customer’s qualifying first deposit on an offer.
If a profile supports both sides, use the advertiser / publisher switch. The canonical page stays one URL.
Filters follow the same split. A $50 publisher threshold will not satisfy an advertiser deposit query.
