Revinel is a self-serve subscription advertising platform for content publishers. Publishers configure ad tiers and custom creative fields in the dashboard; advertisers find the site, click a “Subscribe to advertise” widget, pay through Stripe, fill in a creative form, and wait for approval. Once approved, the ad is available via the Revinel API for the publisher to render however they like. Revinel does not render ads. It owns subscription billing, advertiser onboarding, the approval queue, the weighted-rotation selection algorithm, impression and click tracking, and the embeddable tier selector. Publishers render ads themselves with the SDK.

How the marketplace flows

  1. You set up the offer. Connect Stripe, create one or more ad tiers (each with a price and a weight), and define the custom fields that make up an ad’s creative.
  2. An advertiser subscribes. A visitor opens the tier selector on your site, picks a plan, and pays through Stripe. Billing runs on your connected Stripe account as a recurring subscription.
  3. They submit creative. After payment, the advertiser fills in a short form: a name, a destination URL, and your custom fields.
  4. You review. The ad lands in your queue. You approve it, reject it, or request changes.
  5. Revinel serves it. Once an ad is approved and its subscription is active, the API returns it to your renderer. You fetch ads with the SDK and draw them however you like.
