💰 Monetisation

Turn your local audience into revenue

bLocal gives local publishers twelve ready-made revenue streams, built straight into your website — no plugins, no extra subscriptions. Every payment is processed by Stripe with revenue sharing built in: switch a stream on and start earning.

Reader Subscriptions

Paywall premium content and build recurring revenue. Readers subscribe per publication with Stripe-powered billing — you set the tiers and prices.

Pay-Per-View

Sell single articles, special editions or premium reports without a subscription commitment. Ideal for investigations and one-off features.

Native Advertising

Sell sponsored content and display campaigns to local advertisers. Advertising widgets place them exactly where you want, on any page.

Directory Listings

Charge local businesses for enhanced directory listings with photos, offers and booking links — self-service, so listings sell themselves.

Business Services

Package websites, microsites and marketing services for local businesses on top of the platform — and bill for them as your own service.

Offers & Gift Vouchers

Sell gift vouchers and promotional offers with QR-code redemption and loyalty rewards — cash in the bank before the service is delivered.

Ecommerce

Sell products through catalogue and checkout widgets. Stripe handles the payments; orders and fulfilment stay under your control.

Notice Boards

Charge for community notices — planning, announcements, memorials — on a self-service noticeboard your readers already check every week.

Classifieds

Run paid classified ads for jobs, motors, property and more — the classic local publishing revenue stream, rebuilt for the web.

Event Ticketing

Sell tickets to local events directly from your event calendar or event listing. Set up different pricing, restrict numbers. Offer free tickets.

Bookings & Appointments

Take bookings with deposits for venues, services and experiences — confirmations, reminders and payments handled automatically.

Takeaway Ordering

Give restaurants full online ordering — menus, baskets, delivery zones and a live orders board — and take a share of every order.

Every revenue stream is included in your bLocal subscription — we take a small commission for every transaction to cover processing fees and share the upside with you.
