Everything you need to launch your first campaign and understand what Boughtcast checks at each step.

Getting started

Create your product by pasting its URL: name, description, logo, color and X handle are filled in from your site.
Connect your payment provider (Polar, Dodo Payments or Stripe) with a token that can read orders and create refunds. The token is stored encrypted.
Set up a campaign: percentage or fixed amount, cap, post requirements, dates and budget. A product can run several campaigns.
Share the campaign link (/c/your-product) in your welcome email, on the receipt or inside your product.

The purchase: the buyer gives their order ID or email. We look it up with your provider and check it's paid, not refunded and inside the campaign window.
The post: it must be public and include what the campaign asks for (mention, hashtag, link, ad disclosure, keywords, minimum length).
Days live: the post is re-checked daily until it reaches the minimum days. If it's deleted earlier, there's no refund.
One entry per order and product, even across campaigns.

Every entry lands in the Review inbox with the post, the order and the result of each check.
When you approve, the partial refund goes out through your own provider to the buyer's original payment method. Money never passes through Boughtcast.
Each refund carries an idempotency key: a repeated approval can't pay twice. Budgets and caps apply before it's sent.
If the campaign allows it, posts that pass everything are approved automatically once the days are met.

Each buyer can request a personal link (/r/…) for their post. It points to your site and counts the visits it brings.
You see visits per entry in the Review inbox; the buyer sees them on their status page.
