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.

If QBP is enabled that would disable any request to create a TC

Also, once the parent survey is set with QBP on certain quota, then any traffic channels would only take NON QBP quotas into consideration when created.

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
  }
}
