• Sites are periodically re-reviewed to ensure continued compliance

Technical Implementation

• Respect ad spacing and density limits

Your own images in ad spaces

If you choose to show your own images in HalalSpark ad spaces when there's no paid ad, those images and the pages they link to must meet the same website standards as your website (section 2). HalalSpark doesn't count clicks on them and they don't earn anything.

Revenue Model

• Publishers earn from legitimate, viewability-confirmed impressions of paid advertiser ads
• Payout rate: the published rate per 1,000 paid impressions for the country of each visitor, listed on the pricing page and explained in How much you'll earn. These rates apply from 21 October 2026; until then the rate is £2.40 per 1,000 impressions, the same for every country. This is not a percentage revenue share.
• When no advertiser currently has a paid ad to show on your site, HalalSpark may display one of its own unpaid "house ads" (e.g. promoting HalalSpark itself) in that slot rather than leaving it blank. House ads do not generate revenue, since no advertiser is paying for that impression — this is not a fee or deduction, there is simply no ad spend behind it to share. Your dashboard distinguishes these from paid impressions.
• Real-time dashboard shows impressions, CTR, and earnings
• No payment for invalid or fraudulent traffic

Performance Metrics

• Transparent metrics include CTR, RPM, geographic data
• Historical data available for optimisation

Payout Schedule

• Monthly payouts begin processing on the 1st of each month
• Stripe payouts are fully automatic and usually complete by around midday UTC on the 1st
• Wise payouts are queued automatically on the 1st, then sent by our team by hand — usually within the first week of the month
• Bank transfer payouts are queued the same way but take the longest to arrive, since they're sent manually and the transfer itself may route via SWIFT
• Minimum payout threshold: £10
• Earnings below threshold roll over to next month
• First payout may be delayed pending verification

Payment Processing

• HalalSpark pays publishers via Stripe, Wise, or a direct bank transfer — chosen automatically based on the country you select during payout setup. You do not pick a provider directly, and provider assignment is not open to override: it is determined by a verified, compliance-reviewed list of country-to-provider routes.
• If your country is not currently on that list, payouts are not yet available to you — contact [email protected] and we will let you know if or when it is added.
• Stripe (the UK, EU/EEA, US, Canada, Switzerland, Iceland and Liechtenstein): fully automatic bank transfer via Stripe Connect, one-time onboarding.
• Wise (Pakistan, Nigeria, Turkey, India, Indonesia, Egypt, Morocco, UAE, South Africa, Kenya, Ghana, Uganda, Sri Lanka, Philippines): you complete a short recipient form in your dashboard with your bank details and preferred currency; HalalSpark sends payment directly via Wise's transfer API each month — no separate email link to claim.
• Bank transfer (Bangladesh and Senegal): you complete a bank account form in your dashboard, the same way as Wise; HalalSpark's team sends the transfer by hand each month — the slowest of the three routes to arrive.
• No HalalSpark fee on any route — you receive your full balance. Wise's own transfer fee still applies, charged directly by the provider, out of HalalSpark's hands.
• Payouts go to the verified bank account or Wise recipient on file for your provider
• Email confirmation sent for each payout

Provider Fees

• Stripe: no fee in most markets. US and Canada publishers may see Stripe's own small cross-border fee (~0.25%), disclosed on the payout.
• Wise: the only deduction is Wise's own transfer fee, typically under £1 (higher in some cases, e.g. a non-local-currency bank account). Your dashboard shows the exact amount sent, Wise's fee, the amount received, and the exchange rate for every payout.
• Bank transfer: no HalalSpark fee. As a real international wire, an intermediary or receiving bank may still deduct its own fee along the way — this is outside HalalSpark's visibility or control.
