Build Ads, in three presses

01

Pick approved videos

Build Ads lists the approved videos of each campaign, with the creator on each.

02

Choose the network and the account

Meta, TikTok, Snapchat, X or AppLovin. Your connected ad account, your Page, your campaign and ad set.

03

Review and launch

The video lands in the ad account’s library and the ad is built there. Spend and ROAS of the last 7 days read back.

Creator compensation

How the creator is paid for the ad is set once, on the campaign, and shown on every video.

Share of ad spend
A cut of what you spend running their video as an ad, paid as the ad runs. Capped or not, you choose.
Share of sales
A cut of every order their video brings in, paid as orders come in.
Fixed price
Per video or hourly for the footage; the ad spend is yours alone.
Billing
Bonuses bill the card on file as they accrue. Nothing charges by itself on fixed work.

Attribution you choose

Platform attribution counts what Meta or TikTok report for the video’s ads. Hourly attribution measures on your store with our tracking, through Shopify or the Hourly Pixel, and a sale counts once your server confirms the order. Both are shown; only the count you choose is paid.

The cheaper one is marked

Two numbers side by side, and a mark on the one that costs you less.

One order, counted once

An order is credited to one creator, on one source.

The store comes first

Hourly attribution opens once our tracking is on your store.

Questions about UGC for Paid Ads

No. Build Ads sends the approved video to your ad account and builds the ad there. Download is still there when you want the file.
