What it does
Selling ads by hand usually means emailing advertisers, sending invoices, collecting image files and placing each ad yourself. This add-on turns that into an automated purchase process. You create ad products from your existing placements and price them by day, by impressions or by clicks. Advertisers pick a product, pay at checkout and then upload their ad content through a setup form, so you spend less time on back-and-forth.
The plugin works with Advanced Ads and uses WooCommerce for the sales side, which means advertisers can pay with any gateway your WooCommerce store supports, such as PayPal, Stripe, credit cards or bank transfers. Each advertiser gets a personal account to upload creatives, check purchase history and view ad statistics. You keep control through an approval step where you accept or reject submitted ads before they go live. It also works alongside other Advanced Ads add-ons like Advanced Ads Pro, Google Ad Manager, AMP Ads and Sticky Ads.
Best for
- Bloggers selling banner space directly to sponsors
- Publishers and niche sites with steady ad inventory
- Site owners already using Advanced Ads and WooCommerce

WooCommerce checkout and payments
Sales run through WooCommerce, so advertisers can pay with supported gateways such as PayPal, Stripe, credit cards, bank transfers, Klarna or Amazon Pay.
Advertiser accounts
Each advertiser gets a personal account where they can upload ad creatives, review their purchase history and follow statistics for the ads they bought.

Questions about Selling Ads
What other plugins do I need for Selling Ads?
This is an add-on for the Advanced Ads plugin, so you need Advanced Ads in place. It also uses WooCommerce to handle checkout and payments, so you will need a working WooCommerce setup with at least one payment gateway.
How can I price the ads I sell?
You can build ad products priced by time in days, by a set number of impressions or by a set number of clicks. This lets you offer packages that fit your traffic and the way your advertisers prefer to buy.
Can I check ads before they appear on my site?
Yes. Submitted ads go through an approval workflow where you can approve or reject them. Advertisers receive notifications and can resubmit their ad if it needs changes, which helps you keep your site's ad quality in check.
What can advertisers do in their accounts?
Advertisers get a personal account where they can upload their ad creatives, look at their purchase history and view statistics for their ads. Those statistics can be shared, so advertisers can track their campaigns on their own.
Is Selling Ads free?
The code of Selling Ads is licensed under the GPL, so anyone may use, change and share it. GPL Feast is a paid service: a plan or a single purchase gives you the download and automatic updates. The developer's own support, licence key and online services are not included.
Which version of Selling Ads is this?
Version 2.0.5, released Mar 26, 2026. New versions appear here when the developer publishes them, and members get them as automatic updates.
How do I update Selling Ads?
Install the free GPL Feast Updater on your site and connect it with your API key. It installs new versions of Selling Ads automatically and keeps a backup, so you can roll back.
What does Selling Ads need?
Selling Ads needs Advanced Ads installed and active.
