The help files for Google Offers have also been expanded to now include actual details about the program. I have abstracted some of the highlights:<\/p>\n
Participation Requirements<\/a><\/strong> Concerns about meeting demand<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Google will pay you 80% of your share 4 days<\/strong> after your offer purchase period ends.<\/p>\n Changing scheduled dates and canceling live offers<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Once an offer is scheduled, there is very little flexibility to make changes to your start date<\/p>\n Once an offer is live, you won\u2019t be able to cancel or make changes to the details, copy or terms<\/p>\n Offers selection and scheduling<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n How you\u2019re notified if your offer is selected<\/strong><\/p>\n In most cases, you\u2019ll be notified at least 5 days before your offer is scheduled to run. In rare circumstances, we may choose to run your offer a few days earlier. The offer will have been approved by you beforehand, so the only difference would be that the offer is advertised 2 days earlier than scheduled. We\u2019ll notify you if this is to happen.<\/p>\n We have an Editorial team that will help create the copy and any creative materials associated with your offer, with information that you provide. You will be able to review the offer and must give your final approval before it goes live for sale.<\/p>\n Creating and customizing Google Offers<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n Offer customization<\/strong><\/p>\n You can customize many aspects of a Google Offer for your business. Here are just a few of the elements you can specify for your offer:<\/p>\n Number of offers a customer can purchase <\/strong><\/p>\n Payments and refunds for Google Offers<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Receiving payments for your offer sales<\/strong><\/p>\n We will help you set up a special account with us, where you will enter your bank account information. Google will automatically initiate proper payouts per terms you’ve agreed to. Once a payment has been initiated, your bank may take up to three additional business days to register the payout in your bank account.<\/p>\n Payout schedules<\/strong><\/p>\n Generally speaking, you\u2019ll receive a payout for 80% of your sales approximately 4 days after your offer runs, minus any refund requests that have been processed. Google will hold the remaining 20% for a specified number of days to cover any refunds that may be processed during that period.<\/p>\n Refunds for Google Offers<\/strong><\/p>\n Customers may request a refund from Google for an unused offer within 60 days of purchase for any reason. After 60 days, Google issues refunds in accordance with applicable local law and\/or at our discretion. Refunds may be deducted from your account per agreed upon terms.<\/p>\n
