The Problem
Changing ad format settings — like charge types or self-service access — required contacting your Topsort account manager. Marketplace operators couldn’t update configuration on their own, slowing down iteration and creating unnecessary back-and-forth.The Solution
Each Ad Format page in the Admin Dashboard now lets marketplace operators manage configuration directly. View all campaigns for a given ad format, change charge types, and control self-service vendor access — entirely self-service, no account manager needed.Sponsored Listings
- Charge type: Choose between CPC, CPM, or CPA
- Self-service access: Enabled by default for all vendors
Banners
- Charge type: Choose between CPC or CPM
- Self-service access: Restrict access for the entire marketplace or by individual vendor
Brands
- Charge type: Choose between CPC or CPM
- Self-service access: Restrict access for the entire marketplace or by individual vendor
Videos
- Charge type: Choose between CPC or CPM
- Self-service access: Restrict access for the entire marketplace or by individual vendor
How It Works
1
Navigate to Ad Formats
Open any Ad Format page (Sponsored Listings, Banners, Brands, or Videos) in the Admin Dashboard.
2
View campaigns
See all campaigns running for that ad format in a single view.
3
Configure charge type
Select the charge type that fits your monetization strategy — CPC, CPM, or CPA (Sponsored Listings only).
4
Manage self-service access
For Banners, Brands, and Videos, restrict self-service access for the entire marketplace or for specific vendors. Sponsored Listings are enabled for self-service by default.
