How can store owners easily transfer ad budgets to an ad agency app?

Payments + Shipping & Fulfilment

Topic summary

An ad agency app wants a simple way for merchants to transfer a recurring advertising budget, separate from the app’s flat fee. The goal is for a store owner to authorize a monthly amount, such as $100, that would be automatically taken and made available to the agency to spend on ads.

Key points:

  • The app already charges a flat fee, but the main need is handling merchants’ ad spend.
  • The preferred flow is recurring, pre-authorized charges rather than manual payments.
  • The agency wants the funds transferred from the merchant’s payouts/deposits to the agency’s account.

No technical solution or confirmed payment method is provided in the discussion so far. The request remains open, centered on whether the platform supports this kind of recurring fund transfer for advertising budgets.

Hi,

We are an ad agency and, what our app is, is this. We have a flat fee, but the actual product is that we help store owners advertise, and so they need to send us their money.

But, in order for them to send us their advertising budget, let’s say its $100 a month, up to them, we want to make it as easy as possible for the store owner to send us his ad budget, so ideally, they authorize the charges, and so $100 a month is taken from their deposit and sent to their account with us. We then spend that money on ads.

If someone could tell me how this charge could be made possible, that would really help us out a lot!
