Topping Up
To start bidding for traffic, you will need to top up your account. Your top-ups in CMT are not turned into any form of virtual money. You can distribute these funds as bids in your campaigns.
In Commerce Media Tech, every USD that you top up is always the same USD when added to your account. There are no subscription costs or conversion rates.
- When your advertiser account runs out of balance, your campaigns are paused (stop bidding for visits). To make sure that you’re prepared for undisturbed operations, make sure to always have sufficient funds on your account.
- The initial top-up in the Commerce Media Tech platform has to be at least $200. The following deposits have limits as set by the payment operator:
| Top up method | First top-up limit | Further top-ups limit |
| Credit Cards | $500 | No limit |
| PayPal | $200 | No limit |
| Bank Transfer | $1,000 | $1,000 |
| Revolut | $1,000 | $1,000 |
Before your account is verified, you are required to use either PayPal or Ingenico payments.
As we manually verify every new CMT advertiser, the first deposit of $200 is required. If your account is rejected, your first top-up will be refunded. If your account passes verification and is activated, your first deposit is non-refundable due to safety reasons.
To make a top-up, follow the steps below:
- Click the + next to your account balance in the dashboard header.
- Select the currency of your payment.
- Select the top-up amount. The minimum top-up at CMT is $200.
- Select the payment method.
- Click the Next button.
- Provide payment details & proceed.
