For Advertisers

5 articles

Screen browsing, campaign booking, ad uploads, and analytics.

How do I launch a campaign?

Create a campaign under My Campaigns, upload or generate your ad creative, then browse available screens. Send a proposal to the screen owner — once accepted, you proceed to checkout and your ad goes live.

What ad formats are supported?

Images (JPEG, PNG, WebP) and videos (MP4, WebM up to 50 MB). Minimum resolution 1280×720. The Android app on the screen handles playback automatically.

Can I use the AI Studio to create ads?

Yes. The AI Creative Studio lets you generate image and video ads using AI. Open it from your advertiser dashboard, describe your campaign, and the AI generates creative options for you to choose from.

How are plays counted?

Every play is confirmed by a device heartbeat when your ad actually displays on screen. We don't estimate audience size or impressions — only verified, completed plays count toward delivery.

What happens if I need to cancel a booking?

Cancellations more than 48 hours before campaign start receive a full refund. Within 48 hours: 50% refund, 50% paid to the screen owner. After the campaign starts: no refund.

For Screen Owners

7 articles

Listing screens, TV Player pairing, payouts, and in-house ads.

How do I list my screen?

Go to My Listings → Add New Space. Fill in your screen details, pricing, and location. Submit for review — once approved, your screen appears in the marketplace.

Why do I need identity verification (KYC)?

KYC is required before your listing goes live and before payouts are released. It protects advertisers and ensures all screen owners are legitimate businesses. Upload your documents under Verification in the sidebar.

How does pairing my Android device work?

Install the ielaan Screen app on your Android TV or tablet. Go to Settings → Pair Device to get a pairing code, then enter it under Devices in your owner dashboard.

When do I get paid?

Earnings are held in escrow during the campaign. Once the dispute window closes (up to 10 days after the job ends), payouts are processed within 1–5 business days to your connected bank account.

How do I approve or reject an ad proposal?

Open Approval Queue in your dashboard. Review the ad creative, campaign dates, and pricing. Accept or reject — advertisers are notified instantly.

Can I pause my listing?

Yes. Go to My Listings and click Pause on any active listing. No new proposals will be accepted while paused. Existing confirmed bookings will still run.

What if my device goes offline during a campaign?

If your device is offline for more than 10% of contracted hours, a proportional credit may be issued to the advertiser from your payout. Keep your device on stable internet and the ielaan app updated.

For Agencies

Multi-venue campaigns, client management, and agency rates.

How do I create an agency account?

Any individual ielaan account can become an agency — no separate signup needed. Sign in, then open the Agency Dashboard and fill in your agency name and type to become the Agency Admin, who controls team member access, permissions, and billing. (Not available for accounts already part of an agency.)

Go to Agency Dashboard
Can I add team members to my agency?

Yes. Go to Agency Settings → Team to invite members and set their role (admin or member). All billing is consolidated under the Agency Admin account.

Can an agency manage multiple client brands?

Yes. Each campaign can be labelled with a client brand. Contact support@ielaan.com if you need help setting up multi-client workflows.

Disputes & Refunds

How do I raise a dispute?

Go to Disputes in your dashboard and click "File Dispute" on the relevant booking. You have 10 days after the campaign end date to raise a dispute. Include evidence — screenshots, device logs, descriptions.

How long does dispute resolution take?

Automated review takes 0–24 hours. If inconclusive, a human mediator reviews within 24–72 hours. Both parties are notified once a decision is made.

What happens to my money during a dispute?

Payment remains in escrow while the dispute is open. Once resolved, escrow is released, split, or refunded according to the mediator's decision.
