Revenue Protection Layer

What runs on every booking, from checkout through to a dispute.

Sponsors pay before you publish

Payment is collected the moment a slot is booked. No invoices, no net-30, no chasing. Handled by Stripe Connect, the same payments infrastructure as Shopify and Lyft.

Assets arrive before your deadline

Sponsors get a reminder 3 days out, another 1 day out, and an overdue alert if they miss the deadline entirely.

You can't oversell a slot

Slot limits are enforced at checkout, so two sponsors can never buy the same placement.

Disputes come with booking context

SponsorCal records the dispute and attempts to email you the booking details, including the archive URL if one is already on file. Stripe runs the case.

Every booking, broken down.

You see the gross, the 5% platform fee, and exactly what you keep. Your 95% is transferred into your own Stripe account as part of the sponsor's payment. No invoices. No chasing.

Built for sponsor experience, too

The easier it is for sponsors to work with you, the more they'll come back

No account required

Sponsors book, pay, and submit assets via secure link. No login needed.

Real-time availability

Calendar updates automatically as issues are scheduled or filled.

Guided asset submission

Forms enforce required fields so sponsors submit exactly what you need.

Automatic reminders

Reminders sent 3 days and 1 day before the asset deadline. Overdue alert fires automatically if they miss it.

Is SponsorCal right for you?

Not a marketplace. You bring your sponsors, set your rates, and keep 95%. Here's who this is built for.

This is for you if

  • You're getting sponsor inquiries and need a better system than 'email me'
  • You'd rather approve than chase
  • You want payment before you deliver
  • Your time is more valuable than custom workflows

This is not for you if

  • You're looking for a marketplace to find sponsors
  • You prefer to send your own invoices
  • You want net-30 or post-publication payment terms

Sponsors never see your subscriber list, your revenue, or your dashboard.

95%
You keep

5% platform fee

We pay Stripe's processing fees out of our 5%. Your 95% is untouched.

On a $500 sponsorship, you keep $475. We take $25.
