Quota Based Pricing (QBP)

QBP (Quota Based Pricing) allows you to price each quota within a project uniquely.

To use this functionality, the QBP feature must be enabled by an operator in your buyer account. Please contact your account manager.

With quota based pricing, the PureSpectrum system allows researchers to set different prices on individual quotas.

This will capture harder-to-reach audiences faster with a customized incentive while keeping the budget in check with easier to acquire respondents.

This can be accomplished using the QBP parameter in the Create survey endpoint.

To enable QBP for a survey the qbp parameters should be passed to the request body like this:

{
  ...

  "qbp" : {
    "enable": true,
    "quota_ids": [
      "abc", // buyer_quota_id
      "xyz"
    ]
    "category": "Age" // optional in case of UI.
  }
}

To disable it:

{
  ...
  
  "qbp" : {
    "enable": false
  }
}
