For all networks, the default minimum price for CPC and CPM is **USD $0.01c**. This can be set for any combination of the following dimensions - Country, Ad Format, Device Type, Category and Traffic Type. This can be updated on request by your EXADS representative.&#x20;

## Categories and Subcategories

![Default Network Settings](https://2551497454-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FbWd08bYtHMw1HqDKFpBf%2Fuploads%2FPg7sKRdaS0JRWfVOCTVW%2Fsaas-default-categories.png?alt=media\&token=0d83c3a7-93e1-4fcd-a5c8-a1d8d04d126d)

By default, there are three placeholder categories created for Sites and Ad Zones. Each with 3 subcategories. EXADS can define these for you however you like and as part of the setup process. Categories can be configured and reconfigured through [Ad Server settings](/ad-server/admin.md).

## Dashboard and Statistics

By default the following dimensions are available for reporting on Admin Panel Dashboards and Statistics. For additional reporting dimensions please contact your EXADS representative.

## Pricing Models

Advertisers can choose different pricing models to allocate spend on their campaigns. More information on this is [here](/advertisers/campaigns/creating-a-campaign/step-4-pricing-and-limits.md). By default Ad Servers on the Core Plan have the following pricing models available to Advertisers.

* Cost per Mille (CPM)
* Cost per Click (CPC)
* Cost per View (CPV)

To enable additional pricing models please contact your EXADS representative.

## Campaign Compliance

Campaign Compliance is configured off as part of the Core Plan. Please contact your EXADS representative if you would like to enable this feature. More details on how this works are [here](/ad-server/saas-campaigns-tab/saas-compliance.md).

## Payments

The ability for Advertisers to add funds for their campaigns and Publishers to receive payouts are disabled by default as part of the Core Plan. When payments are disabled:

* Advertisers and Administrators/Super Administrators will not need to add funds when creating a campaign and will receive no Zero Balance notifications.
* Advertisers will still receive notifications when they are reaching their daily budget limit.

Payments can be enabled for your Ad Server at any time. Please contact your EXADS representative for more details. Documentation on how to manage payments for your Ad Server when enabled is [here](/ad-server/payments.md).&#x20;

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.exads.com/ad-server/saas-default-network-settings.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
