Revenue Share

What is revenue share?

Revenue share is a business model in which two or more parties split the revenue generated by a partnership, product, or platform. In commerce media, revenue share is the foundational economic arrangement between a commerce media platform and its publisher partners — a publisher contributes their high-intent inventory and the network fills it with advertiser demand, splitting the resulting revenue.

How revenue share works in commerce media

A publisher — a retailer, subscription brand, app, or any business with a high-intent consumer audience — contributes their post-transaction, loyalty, or owned media inventory to a commerce media network. When a consumer engages with an offer, revenue is generated and split between the network and the publisher. The publisher earns incremental revenue without selling advertising directly.
