Export Process

  1. Generate Report
    At the end of each month, Martailer compiles all campaign spend data.
  2. Verify & Validate
    We check the data for accuracy and completeness before finalizing the report.
  3. Deliver
    The export file is shared via a secure download link or SFTP, per your preference.

Invoice Generation

Martailer can produce invoices on your behalf, ensuring that advertisers receive professional, consistent documentation.

  • Custom Branding: Include logos, legal text.
  • Variable Fields: Retailer name, advertiser details, invoice number, line items, taxes, payment terms.
  • Sequential Numbering: Default sequences (e.g., INV-00001) or custom rules (e.g., per-region prefixes).

Payment Collection

We can configure payments in a way that best fits your regional and financial workflows.

Using Stripe

On Martailer’s Behalf

  • Advertisers pay into Martailer’s Stripe account.
  • Martailer disburses funds to the retailer (minus any fees).

On Retailer’s Behalf

  • We integrate your existing Stripe account into Martailer’s billing flow.
  • Advertisers pay you directly.

Local Payment Processors

  • Integration: Martailer can connect to local payment gateways or bank processors for regions where Stripe isn’t preferred or available.
  • Compliance: We collaborate with your finance teams to ensure local regulatory compliance.
