The account level revenue share feature allows customers to charge their own clients by setting a revenue share at the account level in Beeswax. In order to comply with different options of how revenue share can be configured, Beeswax has introduced two types of account-level revenue shares (Standard and Master). Account Level Revenue Share functionality provides clients with flexibility in how they want to charge their own clients, and an automated billing workflow. 

Standard Account Level Revenue Share

• The Standard account level revenue share allows Beeswax clients to apply a revenue share to the cost of the media, expressed as a percentage rate. The standard revenue share can either be applied as a bid reduction or as an on-top fee.
  • If the account level revenue share is set up as an on-top fee, this means the revenue share is applied on top of the inventory cost, and will not be included in Media Spend or Spend. The revenue share will show up as a separate line in the Vendor Fee report. If the campaign/line item's budget type is Spend with Fees, the revenue share will be included in budget.
  • If the account level revenue share is set up as a bid reduction, this means the revenue share is included in Media Spend and Spend. The revenue share will not show up as a separate line item in reporting.

Master Account Level Revenue Share

• The Master Account Level revenue Share allows Beeswax clients to apply a revenue share to all costs associated with an impression (media spend plus all vendor fees). The master revenue share can only be charged as an on-top fee.

For specific Roles to be able to view the revenue share data in reporting, the 'Account Level Revenue Share' object under Report Field Permissions must be enabled. See Roles for more information.

In Report Builder, Revenue Shares (when set as Fee) will be logged as a vendor fee. The Vendor Fee name will be Revenue Share Fee (for Standard) or Master Revenue Share Fee (for Master), and the Vendor Name will be the buzzkey.

Users can enable the field Account Level Revenue Share for reporting within the UI. This is enabled within the Role object under the Report Field Permissions column. The field name is Account Revenue Share Data, and it is disabled by default. Beeswax has added new fields to the win and bid logs for both types of account level revenue share, please refer to our Logs FAQ page and schema here.
