Generic questions

What is Vertaa.fi?

Vertaa.fi is the biggest price comparison website in Finland. We list different products from different websites and offer our visitors a broad and up-to-date catalog of different items. Our visitors can compare prices and products and find a product that suits their needs the best, with less effort. Vertaa.fi is part of the international Compare Group, which operates in Finland, The Netherlands, Belgium and France.

How many visitors does Vertaa.fi have?

Vertaa.fi has tens of thousands visitors per day. The most accurate and up-to-date visitor count you will get by contacting us: myynti@vertaa.fi.

What kind of shops are connected to Vertaa.fi?

All kinds of webshops have been connected, from large retailers to small shops. We do not connect products and services that we suspect to be unethical. We favor shops that can send us EAN code with their products; the EAN code helps us to direct the data correctly into products. It’s harder to get price comparison or visibility for unique products in our site.

Compare Group has other comparison websites in other countries. Can I list my products on these websites too?

Compare Group has websites in The Netherlands, Belgium, France and Germany. Do you ship to these countries also? Is your product feed and webshop available in these languages? Please contact us and we will tell you more!

Clicks and CPC

How does Vertaa.fi CPC service work?

By adding your products in Vertaa.fi, you get visitors on your shop. You pay a CPC price from every click that leads from our website to your website. We work on the basis of a CPC model with fixed rates per category, in which we have looked at the right relationship between CPC price and volume.

Vertaa.fi applies a minimal monthly invoice fee of 10€. This means, that if your advertisement generates leads for an amount less than 10€, Vertaa.fi will send an invoice of 10€. In case you receive leads worth more than 10€, we’ll invoice the actual amount. The 10€ will not be invoiced as additional fee.

You can check up-to-date CPC prices for all of our categories from the Pricing section.

What is a click?

A click is an event, that occurs when a visitor clicks a link in Vertaa.fi within a product and moves to your webshop from that link. We do not charge every click, for example clicks made by bots, Vertaa.fi employees and same visitors within certain timeframe will be filtered out.

How many clicks will I get?

The amount of clicks depends on your pricing, category and how many products your shop has. Your shop information and delivery times and prices also have an influence in this.

Can I pay by the orders I get (CPS)?

Unfortunately CPS price is not available in Vertaa.fi at the moment.

How can I see the statistics of my shop?

You can see and follow your webshop’s performance and statistics in Compare Group’s own PartnerNet. You will get credentials to the service automatically upon connecting and acceptance of your shop. In the service you can also edit your shop info.

Product feed

How do I create a high-quality product feed?

Your products will be connected to Vertaa.fi database via your product feed. High-quality feed is very important; it increases the visibility and conversion of your products. The processing of product feed takes approximately six days, depending on its quality.

You can find instructions about how to create a high-quality feed in our Datafeed manual.

My product feed has changed. Should I do something?

Please inform us immediately if any changes has been done to your product feed (columns added or removed): myynti@vertaa.fi. This way we can make sure that the changed file will be updated correctly and as soon as possible.

Differences in measuring

We have measured the clicks ourselves and the numbers are different than those made by Compare Group. Why is this?

Single clicks are measured and calculated differently depending on the different analytics. If you have questions or concerns about measuring differences, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Invoicing / Administration

This file contains all information about all general agreements, regarding invoicing and administration. It’s also about how and when you must inform us about certain changes, for example the e-mail address where we should send invoices to.

Monthly invoicing

You receive your invoices at the beginning of each month, by e-mail. If you have any questions concerning the invoice, please contact us myynti@vertaa.fi
