ACCESSTRADE GLOBAL

What ACCESSTRADE GLOBAL does

ACCESSTRADE is a CPA affiliate marketing network operated by Interspace Co., Ltd., a publicly listed company on the Tokyo Stock Exchange Mothers market. The platform has connected advertisers with publishers since 2001 and currently operates across six markets: Japan, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, Singapore and Malaysia, through wholly-owned local entities and regional offices. ACCESSTRADE positions itself as the largest CPA affiliate network in Japan and Southeast Asia, claiming 8,500-15,600+ advertisers, 550,000-1.1 million publishers, and over 1 million monthly visits across its network.

The core platform is a two-sided performance marketing marketplace with three primary products: a Publisher Dashboard for campaign discovery, affiliate link generation, conversion tracking, and creative downloads; a Merchant Dashboard for advertisers to create campaigns, set CPA/CPC/CPL/CPS commission structures, and monitor performance; and a Publisher REST API supporting user provisioning, website management, campaign data, conversion reports, creatives, payments, and promo/vouchers across regional endpoints. Auxiliary products include ACCESSTRADE Academy (educational platform), ACCESSTRADE SuperPoint (publisher rewards), country-specific referral programs, Custom Link creative tools, and the annual ACCESSTRADE SUMMIT event which drew 800 attendees in 2023.

The revenue model is transaction-based: advertisers pay commissions only on verified customer actions (purchases, registrations, leads) and ACCESSTRADE retains a network take-rate from each conversion. Additional revenue is generated through ACCESSTRADE SUMMIT sponsorship packages. The go-to-market combines a self-serve digital motion for publishers (web signup, API integration) with regional sales teams for enterprise advertiser acquisition across each of the six markets. Notable enterprise advertisers include Shopee, Lazada, Amazon Japan, Booking.com, Agoda, Airbnb, Citi, HSBC, AEON, Tokopedia, and AliExpress; key strategic partners at industry events include Google, TikTok Shop, AppsFlyer, CJ, Impact.com, and InMobi.

Revenue model

1. Affiliate Commission (CPA/CPS): ACCESSTRADE charges advertisers on a Cost Per Action (CPA) or Cost Per Sale (CPS) basis. Advertisers pay only when publishers generate desired customer actions such as purchases, registrations, or other trackable conversions. The company takes a commission share from each transaction.
2. Publisher Revenue Share: Publishers earn commissions when their promotional efforts result in conversions. ACCESSTRADE acts as the intermediary, tracking conversions and distributing payments to publishers while retaining a portion as platform revenue.
3. Event Sponsorships: Revenue generated from ACCESSTRADE SUMMIT events through sponsorship packages. Sponsors pay to promote their brands to performance marketers from Japan and Southeast Asia.
