MyPlug never shows pop-ups, full-screen ads, ads between checkout steps, auto-playing video or sound. At most one banner is visible per screen, and side banners only appear on larger screens.

How to prepare your banner

  • Use the exact pixel size listed for the spot (or the same shape, at least three-quarters as wide). Other shapes are refused.
  • Save photos as JPG and designs with flat colours or text as PNG or WebP. Keep under the size limit; tools like squoosh.app shrink files without visible loss.
  • Keep text short (around 7 words) and large: at least 1/10 of the banner height. Phones show banners small.
  • Keep important text and logos away from the edges (leave about 5% margin on every side): edges can be trimmed on small screens.
  • No flashing images, sound, auto-playing video, pop-ups or fake buttons. Every banner is labelled "Ad".
  • Nothing misleading, adult, hateful or illegal; prices shown must be real. Admins check every banner before it runs.
