Deluxe Ads approved dollars vs paid dollars is not ClickBank hop ledger
Score how much Deluxe Ads still owes after a pay run. Take approved publisher $ on one offer-pay export, subtract what actually cleared, divide by approved. That unpaid share is DA approved-paid gap %.
Pair: Approved-vs-paid gap on Traffic. ClickBank twin: CB approved-paid gap. Lag twin: DA approved-paid lag.
Publisher pay fields
Approved payout $ — Deluxe Ads publisher dollars stamped approved / owed for the export window.
Paid payout $ — Deluxe Ads publisher dollars that actually cleared in that window.
DA approved-paid gap % = (approved − paid) ÷ approved × 100. When DA approved-paid gap % fattens, the advertiser-pay desk or publisher hold on that offer is stuck — chase that seat; blank chips stay blank.
Refuse these shortcuts
Refuse inventing DA approved-paid gap %. Refuse dumping lag-day stamps into dollar boxes. Refuse calling pending “paid.” Refuse averaging every publisher when one Deluxe Ads offer owns the unpaid pile. Refuse pasting ClickBank or CAKE settlement rows into Deluxe Ads fields.
