Create a Publisher

Open →

A Publisher is your top-level organization. It holds your:

  • Supply chain (schain): auto-generated from your domain so buyers can verify your inventory is legitimate.
  • sellers.json: declaring you as an authorized reseller or publisher of ad inventory.
  • Team members: invite collaborators with scoped roles.

Add a Property

Open →

A Property represents a website or app where ads run. Each property gets:

  • Domain: e.g. example.com
  • Integrations: configure Prebid Server routing and price floors.
  • Ads.txt Management: manage, validate, and host your ads.txt entries directly from Bidkernel's edge.
