retailAds

The company operates a vertical affiliate / performance marketing network specialised in online retail. It creates value by providing a central platform where merchants can run partner programmes, track conversions using first-party methods, distribute product feeds and voucher data, and settle commissions with publishers via a virtual transaction account. Publishers and agencies gain access to advertisers, technical integrations (comparison calculators, product recommendation widgets, feeds) and consolidated reporting.

Revenue is generated on the merchant side through contractual service fees and network provisions calculated as a share of the commissions paid to publishers. The terms describe a network provision of up to 30% of the publisher commissions, and merchants pre-fund a transaction account used for payouts. Publisher-facing tools are provided free of charge, supporting network scale and transaction volume, which in turn drives fee income from merchants.
