Trackdesk has two separate location-based settings that affect how an offer handles traffic. This article explains what each one does, which tracking method it applies to, and what happens when a visitor's location doesn't match.

You can configure a redirect landing page to only accept traffic from specific countries. When a redirect link is configured this way, only visitors from the allowed countries get redirected to the landing page. Visitors from other countries don't reach the landing page at all and can be sent to a fallback if set.

This applies only to Redirect tracking. Direct tracking links send visitors straight to the advertiser's site without passing through Trackdesk, so there is no opportunity to intercept based on the visitor's location at click time.

You can also restrict offer pricing by country. This is configured at the revenue & payout group level: each group can target one or more specific countries. When a conversion is created, Trackdesk matches it to a revenue & payout group based on the visitor's country (and any other group conditions you set).

If the conversion's country doesn't match any of the offer's revenue & payout groups, the conversion is not created, because no pricing can be applied to it.

Unlike landing page targeting, this works for both Direct tracking and Redirect tracking, since the geo check happens at conversion time when Trackdesk receives the conversion data.
