What is Cost-Per-Action or Cost-Per-Acquisition?
In digital marketing terminology CPA stands for "Cost-Per-Action" or "Cost-Per-Acquisition". Where CPC refers to the fee that an advertiser pays to the publisher when the ad is clicked, CPA is a digital marketing metric and pricing model that refers to the specific action done by a user whether it is registering, signing up, filling a form, making a purchase or watching a video.
In this type of advertising model, you pay the hosting platform (which publishes your ad) each time when the ad prompts to any of the above actions. Generally, CPA is higher than CPC as not every user who clicks the ad will about to complete your desired action.
