General Settings

General Settings are the network-wide defaults for how OffZio behaves: business model, vertical, language, currency, timezone, report date range, conversion auto-approve, registration reCAPTCHA, and the global fallback URL for invalid traffic.

This article covers only General Settings. Other Settings groups — such as Branding, Billing, Categories & Tags, and Team — are separate pages. To create offer categories, see Campaign Categories (Settings → Campaign Management → Categories & Tags).

What General Settings control

A Network Admin uses this page to set defaults that apply across the platform:

Which business model and industry vertical the network is configured for.
Default language, currency, and how dates appear on reports.
Whether conversions are auto-approved when a postback arrives.
Whether registration pages use reCAPTCHA.
Where invalid traffic is sent (inactive offers, denied geos, and similar cases).

Note: These values are network defaults. Example figures in this article (English, USD, Asia/Dhaka, Dating) are illustrations only. Set language, currency, timezone, and vertical to match your OffZio network.

Who can change General Settings

Only a Network Admin should change General Settings. Publishers and advertisers cannot open this page.

Confirm your role on the sidebar profile card if you are unsure. It should show a name and role such as OffZio Admin · Network Admin.

Note: Currency is locked after initial setup. Review Default Currency carefully before you treat the network as live. Wrong timezone or auto-approve settings affect reports and invoicing for everyone.

How to open General Settings

Sign in as a Network Admin.
In the left sidebar, click Settings.
Under Network Settings, click General.

The breadcrumb is Settings. The page is divided into Business Configuration, Localization & Currency, Date & Time Preferences, Automation & Security, and Traffic Management. Reset Changes and Save Changes sit at the bottom.

Business Configuration

The section description reads: Configure your business model and industry vertical to optimize platform features for your use case.

Business Model — Dropdown. Example value: Network. Use the model that matches how OffZio is deployed for your company (a CPA network that connects advertisers and publishers).
Vertical (required) — Example value: Dating. Choose the industry you primarily operate in. This does not replace campaign categories. You can still organize offers under Categories & Tags (see Campaign Categories).

Localization & Currency

The section description reads: Set your default language, currency, and timezone. Note: Currency cannot be changed after initial setup to maintain data integrity.

Default Language (required) — Example: English. This is the default language for the network interface.
Default Currency (required) — Example: USD - US Dollar. Revenue, payout, profit, and invoices are stored in this currency.

The page also states: Currency is locked to prevent reporting miscalculations.

Note: Choose Default Currency carefully. After initial setup, currency is locked so historical revenue, payout, and invoice totals stay consistent. Do not assume you can switch from USD to another currency later without breaking reporting integrity.

Date & Time Preferences

The section description reads: Customize how dates and times are displayed across your network.

Default Timezone (required) — Example: Asia/Dhaka - (GMT+06:00) Dhaka. Report days, “Today,” and conversion timestamps follow this timezone. Set it to the timezone your finance and operations team actually uses.
Default Date Range — Example: Today. The page notes this is the Default time period for reports. Dashboard and report screens open on this range until a user picks another preset.
Date Format — Example: ISO Date (2025-03-26). Controls how dates are written in the interface.
Display time alongside dates — Toggle. Can be OFF. When off, dates show without a clock time unless a screen (such as the Conversion report ledger) still needs a timestamp.

Note: Timezone is a common reason partner reports disagree with OffZio. If a publisher’s “yesterday” does not match yours, compare their timezone to Default Timezone before you treat conversions as missing. See Conversion Report and Other Reports.

Automation & Security

The section description reads: Configure automated workflows and security features for your network.

Auto-approve Conversions

The control reads: Automatically approve all conversions without manual review. The toggle can be ON.

When this is on, the Conversion report can show the banner Auto-approve enabled: conversions are approved via postback, but a Network Admin can still manually reject or adjust them before invoicing.

Note: Auto-approve speeds operations. It does not lock a conversion forever, and it does not mean every fire should be paid. Review suspicious rows on the Conversion report and change status before you run Invoices Generation & Management. Approved, unpaid conversions are what invoices use.

reCAPTCHA Protection

The control reads: Enable reCAPTCHA on registration pages to prevent bot signups. The toggle can be ON. Leave this on if partners can register themselves and you want to reduce automated signups.

Traffic Management

The section description reads: Configure global settings for traffic routing and fallback behavior.

Global Fallback URL — Text field. Example: https://example.com. Replace that example with a real page you control.

The page notes: Redirect URL for invalid traffic (inactive offers, denied geos, etc.).

Tip: Use a safe, always-on landing page — your network site or a generic offer wall — not another campaign tracking link that can also go inactive. Invalid clicks (paused offers, GEO or device denies) are sent here instead of showing a broken page.

Reset Changes and Save Changes

Reset Changes — Discards unsaved edits on this page and returns the fields to the last saved values.
Save Changes — Applies the settings. Unsaved edits are not live until you save.

Note: Reset does not unlock currency or undo settings you already saved. It only clears the current unsaved form.

Step-by-step: update General Settings

Open Settings → Network Settings → General.
Set Business Model and required Vertical for your network (not the example Dating value unless that is your vertical).
Confirm Default Language.
Confirm Default Currency before the network is in production. Treat it as permanent after initial setup.
Set Default Timezone to the zone your team reports in.
Choose Default Date Range, Date Format, and whether to display time alongside dates.
Decide Auto-approve Conversions and reCAPTCHA Protection.
Enter your real Global Fallback URL.
Click Save Changes. If you made a mistake before saving, click Reset Changes instead.

Best practices

Set timezone and currency at launch, with finance in the room for currency.
Do not copy screenshot examples (USD, Asia/Dhaka, Today) unless they are truly yours.
If Auto-approve is on, schedule a Conversion report review before each invoice run.
Keep the fallback URL on a domain you control and that stays online.
Use Categories & Tags for offer types; use Vertical here only as the network’s primary industry.
After you save timezone or date-range defaults, open a report and confirm “Today” matches what you expect.
