Currencies in the AdServer

Exchange Rate Refresh

Despite the fact that clients can set rate, floors, fees and revenue budgets in native currencies, every auction in the AdServer is conducted in USD.

The process for the exchange rate refresh has been highlighted below:

  • The AdServer refreshes the exchange rates for all supported native currencies from https://currencylayer.com/ each day at Midnight UTC.

  • These rates are then used once we have them available and until such time as we do the next refresh in 24 hours.

  • Also, note that the AdServer does not round off the exchange rates either higher or lower in any way.

    • To illustrate, the exchange rate from GBP to USD on 5/31/2021 was 1.4196

    • In the AdServer, we will use 1.4196 as the exchange rate and not round it off to 1.42

  • We use the actual exchange rate we get from the Exchange Rate Source.

    • To illustrate, all the auctions conducted from 6/1/2021 00:00:00 UTC through 6/1/2021 23:59:59 UTC will use the same exchange rates converted to USD throughout the day.

    • Once we refresh the exchange rates on 6/2/2021 00:00:00 UTC, the exchange rate used going forward will be the exchange rates that was acquired as of 6/2/2021 00:00:00 UTC.

Given that the entire auction happens in USD, this currency conversion logic is applicable to all the features supported in SpringServe.
