Ads Space lets your club turn its page into a sponsorship asset. Once it is active, sponsor ads appear inline across your club's content and generate revenue to support the club.
What you need first
Ads Space requires Stripe Connect to already be active on your club. If it is not, you will be routed to set that up before you can subscribe.
Note: Stripe Connect is used for member payments. Your Ads Space subscription itself is billed separately, to a card you enter at checkout, not through Stripe Connect.
Choosing a plan
From the Admin dashboard, tap the Ads Space tile. On your first visit you will see two plans side by side:
Annual: £7.79/month, billed as £93.48 per year (a 40% saving), plus a £0.50 transaction fee.
Monthly: £12.99/month, plus a £0.50 transaction fee.
The Annual plan is highlighted by default. Pick a plan and continue to checkout, where you can pay by card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay. Once payment goes through, you land on the Ads Space screen ready to create your first ad.
How ads are shown to members
Once you publish an ad, it rotates inline within your club's Events, Articles, Forms, and Shop lists, always labelled Sponsored. There is no cap on how many ads you can run at once, and multiple active ads rotate evenly with no way to pin or boost one above another.
Targeting your ads
When you create an ad you choose who sees it:
Gender: Everyone, Men, Women, or Other. You can select more than one.
Age: All Ages, or a specific bracket (Under 18, 18-25, 25-35, 35-50, 50+).
Tip: Targeting is household-inclusive. A parent will see an ad if any of their linked children match the ad's target gender and age, even if the parent's own profile does not match.
Members who have not set a gender or age on their profile are treated as eligible for every ad, so nobody is accidentally excluded by an empty profile field.
Managing your subscription
Tap the settings cog on the Ads Space screen to see your next payment date, your card on file, and your full payment history, and to update your card or cancel.
If a payment fails, your ads keep showing for a 14-day grace period while PLAI retries the charge, so nothing disappears immediately. If the 14 days pass without a successful payment, your subscription pauses and your ads stop showing until you resume it. Cancelling is always end of period: your ads keep running until the current billing cycle finishes, with no partial refund, and your ad designs are kept indefinitely in case you want to come back.
FAQ
Do I lose my ads if I cancel?
No. Your ad designs and settings are kept even after cancellation, so you can pick up again later without rebuilding anything.
What happens if nobody matches my ad's targeting?
The ad still publishes successfully, it just will not be shown to anyone until a member who matches your targeting joins or updates their profile.
