Cost Per Sale (CPS)
Structure outcome-led partnerships where marketing cost is connected to a confirmed, attributable sale.
Connect marketing spend
to confirmed sales.
Payable sales follow explicit attribution, validation and cancellation rules.
CPS can align commercial incentives, but only when attribution, validation windows, returns, cancellation rules and data access are agreed in advance. We help define a workable operating model rather than treating every recorded checkout as equal.
