Frequently Asked Questions
A marketplace media network is a marketplace selling ad placements to its own sellers. NEXUS supplies the sponsored listings, the seller dashboard, billing, and reporting underneath.
Sellers bid for placement in search and browse results, and the auction ranks them alongside organic listings. The sponsored listings platform handles pricing, delivery, and billing.
Sellers fund campaigns from their own budgets through a self-serve dashboard. Seller-funded advertising needs no sales team: approvals, invoicing, and reporting run on your admin surface.
Retail media monetizes one retailer's own inventory. Marketplace ad monetization is seller-funded, with thousands of third-party sellers bidding for visibility in the same catalog.
The NEXUS marketplace advertising platform runs approvals, budgets, and billing per seller, with separate reporting for each and one operator-level view across all of them.
