FAQ
Questions before you earn bread?
What is AdsOnBread?
AdsOnBread is a browser extension ad network. Developers add the SDK to approved extensions, and advertisers run approved campaigns into contextual placements.
Where does the name come from?
The name comes from BRowser Extension ADs. That spells bread, and developers can earn bread with AdsOnBread.
Does everything need approval first?
Yes. New developers, extensions, and every campaign are reviewed before they can participate in live ad delivery. Advertisers can create an account instantly — their campaigns are reviewed before going live.
Do you track users?
AdsOnBread does not build cross-site profiles or use behavioral targeting. SDK 1.1.0 assigns a random token a 24-hour lifetime and sends it with ad requests for frequency capping, billing accuracy, and fraud prevention. AdsOnBread stores only a one-way HMAC of the token and scrubs it after 24 hours. See the privacy policy.
What does the SDK store in the browser?
The SDK stores adsonbread_uid in the extension's local browser storage as an object containing a random token and its 24-hour expiration time. It never sends an expired token and replaces the record the next time the SDK runs. Because browser storage has no automatic expiration, an unused expired record can remain until that next use, storage is cleared, or the extension is uninstalled. It does not store browsing history, page content, names, or email addresses. See the privacy policy.
Can developers control ad formats?
Yes. You can enable card and banner formats per extension from the developer setup page.
What are the ad creative specs?
Advertisers upload one 96 x 96 icon, write up to 130 characters of plain text, and choose linked text ranges that use the HTTPS campaign URL. See the creative specs.
What is the payout minimum?
The payout minimum is $25 in eligible earnings, not your entire pending balance. A month’s earnings become eligible on the 10th of the following month. Eligible earnings below $25 carry over until you reach the minimum. Your Payouts page shows the eligible balance and lets you select a saved method when requesting payment.
When do payouts happen?
The monthly payout cycle is on the 10th. Earnings accrue daily, and a month’s earnings become eligible on the 10th of the following month. Request payment from the Payouts page once your eligible balance reaches $25 and select a saved method. Provider processing and any required recipient verification can add time before funds arrive.
How do developers get paid?
Save your residence address in Settings, then choose a payout method on your Payouts page. US residents can use ACH, PayPal, or Talentir; residents outside the US use Talentir. Request payment once eligible earnings reach $25, on the monthly cycle on the 10th. See the developer payout terms.
What is Talentir, and how do I receive a payout?
Talentir is our international payout provider. Save an email you can access, then follow its claim link to complete verification and choose an available bank transfer, crypto, or Venmo payout. Options vary by location.
Can I receive crypto through Talentir?
Yes, where Talentir offers it. Crypto is optional; choose from the methods shown when you claim your payout.
Do Talentir payouts have fees or extra processing time?
Fees and processing times vary by method and location. See the Talentir payout fees table in our terms, and confirm the details with Talentir before claiming.
Where can I find my payout statement?
View or download your published Payout Statement from the Payouts page. If it shows “Statement pending,” the document is still being prepared.
Is AdsOnBread compliant with the Chrome Web Store ad policy?
Yes. AdsOnBread is designed to comply with the Chrome Web Store ads program policies. Ads are clearly labeled as ads and rendered inside your extension's own UI — whether that UI lives in a popup, sidebar, options page, new-tab page, or a panel your extension already injects into a webpage. Ads never obscure or interfere with a webpage's own content or ads.
How many ads can I show?
Display at most one AdsOnBread ad at a time on any given page. You can run ads across multiple extension surfaces — popup, sidebar, options page, new-tab page — as long as each page shows only one ad at once. You may also show an ad inside a third-party webpage if and only if your extension already injects its own UI into that page, with the ad rendered inside that injected UI. Never inject standalone ads into webpages or interfere with a site’s own content or ads.
How does advertiser billing work?
Advertisers add funds through Stripe. The available balance only updates after Stripe confirms the payment webhook.
Can I hide ads from pro users of my extension?
Yes. Whether to show ads to pro or paying users of your extension is entirely at your discretion. Many developers show ads only on the free tier and hide them for pro users as a paid perk.
Can I book a call with your team?
Yes. Reach out to support@adsonbread.com and our team will set up a call to walk through campaign setup, targeting, and creative review.
What metrics can I see?
Your advertiser dashboard shows total spend, available balance, and active campaign count at a glance, plus a 30-day chart of daily impressions and clicks across all campaigns. Each campaign also reports its own impressions, clicks, spend versus budget, and estimated impressions remaining, with its own 30-day delivery chart.
How does daily budgeting and pacing work?
Every campaign has a total budget and a daily budget. The daily budget caps how much can be spent in a single day, which paces delivery evenly instead of spending the whole budget at once. Once the total budget is reached the campaign completes; you can top up funds or raise budgets at any time. Spend never exceeds your available balance.
How do creatives work for advertisers?
Each campaign uses one compact creative: a 96 x 96 icon, up to 130 characters of plain text, and linked text ranges that point to your HTTPS landing page. Developers choose whether it renders as a card or banner and in light or dark mode. You can set a separate landing URL per language variant. See the full creative specs.
How does targeting work?
Campaigns are matched contextually by extension category and language — no cross-site user profiles or behavioral tracking. You pick the categories and languages you want to reach, and ads only serve into reviewed extensions that fit.
How much does it cost to start?
Minimum funding is $10, added through Stripe—approximately 5,000 impressions at our $2 CPM launch rate. This rate continues through at least December 31, 2026. See our pricing page for current and future rates. Your available balance updates after Stripe confirms payment, and campaigns never spend beyond that balance.
