Frequently Asked Questions

How do I create a Campaign and Line Item with a different currency than the default in Buzz?

Multiple currencies are supported for reporting and budgeting within Beeswax. A currency can be set when you create a campaign. However, once a campaign is created, the currency cannot be changed.

Line Items within that campaign will inherit the currency that is set at the Campaign level, and all line items within a campaign must be the same currency.

How do I see currencies in reports?

If you are using multiple currencies in Beeswax, it is important to ensure you pull the ‘currency’ field in reporting. The `spend` and all financial fields in reporting (CPM, Gross Margin, etc) will always be in the campaign's currency.

All currency rates are linked to the rate at the time of the transaction, not the current rate when the report was pulled.

How can I change the default currency in Buzz?

Please reach out to Beeswax Support,who can change this for you.

You are also able to set a default currency at the advertiser level.

When a bid is submitted to an inventory source as a bid response, it is in USD. This is the standard for the inventory sources we work with.

Where is the Beeswax exchange rate data from? How frequently is it updated?

Beeswax pulls its currency rates from https://openexchangerates.org/. The rates are updated on an hourly basis.

How does currency affect the monthly invoice from Beeswax?

Beeswax only bills in USD, regardless of the currency used for campaigns. If you want to pull reporting from the Buzz UI to reconcile against billing, you can use the "media_spend_usd" field to see the USD equivalent for the local currency reporting. In fact, all currency fields in Buzz reporting will also have a corresponding "_usd" field.
