Floors module: default floor price does not apply

[Pupis]

Type of issue

Bug or question

Description

Prebid.js documentation says, that it is enough to configure adUnit with the default value, but there is no example with global floor.

...
 floors: {
     default: 1.00     // default currency is USD
 },
 ...

link to documentation

By looking into the source code, it seems that is necessary to have values in floors object link to source code and only default is insufficient, and skipped value to floor data is set to true, and therefore getFloor() does not exist.

Is this approach correct overall? If not, could you provide an example with the default floor value?
Also, is it possible to define default value while calling setConfig?

Expected results

Bid adapter to be able to get the default floor value.

Actual results

getFloor() does not exist.

Are you saying you set a skip rate and you are surprised there is no floor when the floor logic is skipped?

[patmmccann]

As an aside I generally read this logic as confusing as well, conflating random skip and no match; these are very different for analytics purposes.
// if we still do not have a valid floor data then floors is not on for this auction, so skip if (Object.keys(deepAccess(resolvedFloorsData, 'data.values') || {}).length === 0) { resolvedFloorsData.skipped = true; } else { // determine the skip rate now const auctionSkipRate = getParameterByName('pbjs_skipRate') || resolvedFloorsData.skipRate; const isSkipped = Math.random() * 100 < parseFloat(auctionSkipRate); resolvedFloorsData.skipped = isSkipped; }

I remember we had an annoying time getting the set skip rate to match observed skip rate because some unexpected no matches were messing it up.

I believe the documentation is incorrect in this:

Alternatively, if there’s only one mediaType in the AdUnit and a single global floor, the syntax gets easier:

from my testing both schema and values are required, and given that I'm not sure what the point of default is. @robertrmartinez ?

I have exactly the same problem. I've set up the Prebid configuration just like OP, and the SSP bids below the default floor. They don't seem to see any floor in the requests I send them at all

[dgirardi]

A workaround, to achieve what I think default is meant to do, is to put in the adUnit:

            floors: {
                schema: {
                    fields: ['mediaType'],
                },
                values: {
                    '*': 1.0, // this is effectively "default"
                },
            },

@dgirardi In my config, I used a similar notation:

	"floors": {
           "currency": "USD",
           "schema": {
               "fields": ["mediaType"]
					},
           "values": {
               "banner": 0.45,
               "video": 3.00
           }
       },

Professor Prebid sees the config, but the SSPs bid below.

@modessef1 when floors are set globally through setConfig, schema and values go under data. On that page, this seems to work:

pbjs.setConfig({
    floors: {
        data: {
            'currency': 'USD',
            'schema': {
                'fields': [
                    'mediaType'
                ]
            },
            'values': {
                'banner': 0.45,
                'video': 3
            }
        }
    }
});

Your floor config is correct if it were in the adUnit, although in that case you still need to activate the module with an empty setConfig (setConfig({floors: {}}))
