Create SKU Exception Lists

Create SKU exception lists to apply different payout rates to specific products.

Take the PXA course

SKU exception lists let you pay partners different rates based on the SKU associated with an action.

SKU and promo code exception lists are not available in every impact.com edition. For example, Product-Led Growth (PLG) edition accounts do not include the SKU or Promo Code option under Exception Lists. If you do not see either option, you may need to upgrade your account. Contact support.

Create a SKU exception list

1. From the top navigation bar, select [User profile] → Settings.
2. In the Program column, scroll to Exception Lists and select SKU.
3. In the upper right corner, select Add New SKU List.
4. Fill out the following information:

   Field	Description
   List Name	Add a name for this list—this will only appear internally to you and other account members; partners will not see it.
   Associate Event Type	Select 1 or more event types to associate with this exception list.
   Match Expression	[Advanced & Optional] Enables the system to match only on a part of the SKU value via specifying a regular expression with 1 grouping. The value represented by the grouping will be matched against the SKU value in this list. If you have a use case for regex but are unsure how to configure it, contact support.

5. Select Save and Add Items to continue.
6. You can add a SKU and optional Display Values using the fields in the UI, or you can Upload a CSV or Excel file with your SKUs.
7. Once you've added items or uploaded a file, select Save to complete the process. You'll now see your new SKU exception list on the SKU Lists screen.

SKU exception list format

Create a .CSV or .XLS/.XLSX file using the column names below.

Column	Type	Required	Description
SKU	String	Yes	The value that is included in tracking conversion data.
Display Value	String	No	Enter a display value if you want to show a different value in reporting. For example, if the Category value is some sort of computer-generated value, then you might want to enter a display value to make it easier to understand in reporting.
Active Start Date	Date	No	Gives you the ability to schedule this item. This is an ISO 8601 format. Example format: 2038-01-19T12:00:00-07:00
Active End Date	Date	Only if Start Date is provided	Gives you the ability to schedule this item. This is an ISO 8601 format. Example format: 2038-01-19T23:59:59-07:00 When setting end dates to SKUs, any SKUs that expire (passes the set end date) will not trigger any payouts stipulated in the contract. Be sure to remove expired SKUs to avoid payouts from not triggering as stipulated in your terms. Example: If you want to run a promotion for a limited time on selected SKUs, you can create a SKU exception list and schedule times for when the promotion is valid for on each related SKU. Then you can set a payout group to pay the different payouts on the various SKUs. If an order with a SKU on this list is tracked outside of the scheduled time, it will not trigger the promotional payout.
Timezone	String	No	Timezone is derived from the start date, but if you want to override it with a specific timezone, enter the full name here, e.g. "America/New_York"

For example:

SKU, Display Value, Active Start Date, Active End Date
12345ABC, Acme Bird Seed, 2038-01-19T12:00-07:00, 2038-01-20T23:00-07:00
