Common errors with benefit.media lines
-
Seller ID not found
94 lines
Ask benefit.media for the account ID it lists for you in its sellers.json, correct the line, or remove it if you no longer work with them. Buyers that check sellers.json drop these paths.
-
DIRECT but intermediary
24 lines
If a partner holds this account and resells your inventory, the line should say RESELLER. If the account is yours, ask benefit.media to list it as PUBLISHER.
-
Seller type BOTH
16 lines
The account is listed as BOTH, so sellers.json alone cannot tell a buyer which relationship applies. Nothing to fix on your side; buyers usually look at the seller's domain.
-
RESELLER but publisher
8 lines
If the account is yours, declare it DIRECT. If a partner holds it, ask benefit.media why the account is listed as PUBLISHER.
