Managing your TV advertising budget shouldn't be complicated. Here's everything you need to know about how billing works at Skybeam, including campaign charges, unused budgets, and credit policies.
Streaming TV Campaigns
All campaign budgets are billed in full before the campaign launch
Once you submit a campaign, your account will be billed using the saved payment method or by entering new payment details
Example: A $500 campaign will be charged $500 at the time of activation
Unused Budget Policy
For All Campaign Objectives:
If your campaign doesn't fully deliver due to targeting constraints, any unspent amount becomes account credit
Example: If a $500 campaign only delivers $450 in ads due to limited network selection, the remaining $50 becomes available credit
To apply credits to your next campaign, contact support@skybeam.io
For information about payment methods and setup, please refer to our Available Payment Options article.

Traditional TV Campaigns

What Happens After Submission:
Our team reviews your creative content to ensure it meets television advertising standards
Campaign payment for the full campaign budget will be processed once the creative review is complete
Your campaign launches on the scheduled start date
Campaign reporting becomes available within 72 hours after launch
