How Perch actually works, in short answers.

Getting startedPricing & the queueManaging ads (site owners)Getting paidFor advertisersPerch Plus

Getting started

Creating your first ad space

Size, price, and how many advertisers can share it.

Pasting the embed code

One script tag, no separate div, works anywhere.

Pricing & the queue

How pricing works

One number: what an advertiser pays per day.

What happens when your space is full

New advertisers bid instead of hitting a dead end.

How display time is split between advertisers

Proportional to rate, not an even split — worked example.

Managing ads (site owners)

Reviewing and accepting ads

See the payout before you decide, accept or reject with a reason.

Auto-accept vs manual review

Hands-off income vs. approving every ad yourself.

Editing or deleting your ad space

What you can change, and why deletion is sometimes blocked.

Taking down a live ad

Pull an ad that's already running, with a reason.

Getting paid

Connecting Stripe

Required before any of your spaces can take real payment.

Understanding the service fee

A flat percentage that covers running the platform.

For advertisers

Submitting an ad

Text or image, a link, and a daily spend cap.

Editing your ad after it's live

Budget changes are instant; creative changes may need re-review.

Stopping your ad

Come down immediately, no charges after that day.

Bidding for a full slot

Join the queue, raise your bid, or leave anytime.

Perch Plus

What's included in Plus

Replace the default banner with your own promo.
