Duplicate call (dedupe window): what it means in pay per call

Duplicate call (dedupe window): A repeat call from the same caller ID within a set period, often 30 days, that the buyer won't pay for again.

How it works in pay per call

Most pay-per-call offers pay once per unique caller within a dedupe window. Repeat calls inside the window are routed but not billable. Your platform should flag duplicates per buyer so you can send them to a buyer who would pay.

Read the offer's dedupe terms closely. Some buyers dedupe across all their campaigns, others only within one.

Example

Example: with a 30-day dedupe window, a caller who called on the 1st and calls again on the 20th is routed, but not billed again to the same buyer.
