How a booking works
You pick a week and the sites, write one sponsor card and pay once. Each publisher approves within 48 hours, the card runs Monday to Sunday, and you see impressions and clicks every day.

When money comes back
You pay upfront. These are the only cases where some or all of it is returned, and they happen without you asking.
| If | You get | When |
|---|---|---|
| The publisher declines | Full refund | To the original UPI or card, usually in 5 to 7 working days |
| No answer within 48 hours | Counted as a decline. Full refund | Same as above |
| The slot sold while you were paying | Full refund for that site | Same as above |
| Your card misses one day | One seventh of the price refunded | After the week ends |
| It misses two days or more | Those days refunded, plus ₹500 credit | Credit is used at your next checkout |
| Fewer clicks than you hoped | No refund | Clicks depend on your offer, so they aren't guaranteed |
Where your card shows up
Each site picks one placement and its listing shows it on that site. These three need no change to the publisher's layout, so most sites use them.

Questions
- What exactly am I paying for?
- One site's sponsor placement for seven days, shown to every visitor on every page the publisher installed it on. The price is flat: no bidding and no per-click charges.
- How do you know the traffic is real?
- Each publisher connects their own analytics account and we read daily totals from it every night. During your week our embed also counts impressions on the page, so you can compare the two.
- What counts as an impression?
- Your card being at least half visible for one second. Obvious bots are excluded. Clicks are counted on the redirect, before the visitor reaches your site.
- Can I book several sites at once?
- Yes. Add sites to a week and pay once. Each publisher approves separately, and a decline only refunds that one site.
- Can I change my card after booking?
- Not yet. Write to us before the week starts and we'll ask the publisher to approve the new version.
- What does the publisher see about me?
- Your card, the link it points to and your name, so they can decide. They never see your payment details.
