15. Notification of any purchase would be via a Stripe notification directly from your Stripe account, once the advertiser pays through the product link or store. 
16. At this point, a campaign is created in your organization with the advertiser's contact information, so you can reach out to him via email to request the assets for the campaign.

An advertiser purchased my campaign, now what?

An advertiser purchased your campaign directly from the store and a new campaign is created in your brand or organization account.  A quick way to find this campaign is to go to Promotions -> Campaigns and search by promoter name, which will be filled out with the information he entered when completing the purchase.

Once you have identified the campaign, reach out to the promoter with the dates available and requesting the collateral for each promotion, and once you have this information, you can proceed to create the promotion(s).

How can I make sure I don't overlap ads?

To manage your ad inventory, the best place to review whether you are overbooked, is the Calendar view in the Promotions screen.  We recommend adjusting the filter to the month you are reviewing.

You can also filter by channel, to make sure all your ad spaces for that channel, for a particular day are filled.
