Curated Bundles
A curated bundle is a package of channel placements assembled by Onflow Ads — one price, one creative, one start time, booked as a unit, at a discount the platform funds out of its own fee. Bundles live on the Channel finder page at https://onflowads.com/telegram/dashboard/paid-promotion/plan, below the Channel finder.
Bundles are open to every plan, including Free. The builder above them is not — the two products share a page but not a gate.
Before you start
- Advertiser role required. The page redirects a channel-owner account to the Paid Promotions hub.
- You need one saved ad post. The composer will not open without one; it links you to the booking page to write one instead.
- Your wallet must cover the bundle total. A bundle bypasses the cart and charges directly.
Why book a bundle
- A vetted starting set. Each bundle is a themed package of verified channels, so you are not shortlisting from scratch.
- A discount that costs owners nothing. The saving is the platform's own margin. Every owner is still paid their full published rate.
- One campaign, fully protected. A bundle books through the same checkout the cart uses: the same escrow, the same delivery monitoring, the same payout ladder, the same refund and dispute routes.
Reading a bundle card
| Element | What it is |
|---|---|
| Name and description | What the operator assembled and why |
The OFPB- reference | The bundle's ID — literally the thing the book button orders |
| Channel chips | One per placement, reading @channel · format |
| A struck-through total | What the same placements would cost separately, at your plan's pricing |
| The bundle price | What you will actually pay |
| Save $X · N% | The saving and the bundle's own discount rate |
| A footer note | "N channels · priced for your plan · confirmed at checkout" |
Every figure is re-priced live for your own plan, so two accounts see different numbers on the same bundle.
Step by step
- Press "Book bundle →" on the card. An inline composer opens on the card itself.
- Pick an Ad creative — one of your saved ad posts, each labelled with its
OFPT-reference. One creative runs across every channel in the bundle. - Pick a Start (your local time) with the date-and-time field.
- Press "Book for $X".
The bundle books directly — it does not pass through the cart — and lands on your Campaigns page as one campaign with one order per channel. Each owner independently accepts or declines within their 24-hour window, with the usual automatic refunds.
The bundle row decides which channels and formats are booked; your request supplies only the creative and the start time. That is what stops a bundle's discount being pointed at inventory nobody curated.
Every channel in a bundle is a placement, and the ordinary allowance rules apply — a five-channel bundle spends five. It also inherits every other checkout rule: the reliability floor, the strictest lead time across its channels, and owner blackout dates on the start day.
Pricing is live
Bundles re-price fresh at booking from each listing's current rate. The price on the card is live, and the amount on the button is the amount charged. If an owner changed a rate since you loaded the page, the button reflects it before you commit.
A channel that has gone inactive is skipped rather than failing the whole bundle — a curated set outlives any one listing's status. If every channel in it has gone, the booking is refused rather than charging you for nothing.
Bundles versus the cart's bundle offer
There are two "bundle" discounts and they are different things.
| Curated bundle | The cart's bundle offer | |
|---|---|---|
| Who picks the channels | Onflow Ads | You — any 2+ distinct channels in your cart |
| Where it appears | The Channel finder page | The cart's Summary panel |
| The rate | Whatever the operator set on that bundle | A server-fixed 10% |
| Funded by | The platform's own fee | The platform's own fee |
| Who can use it | Every plan | Every plan |
| Route | Books directly, bypassing the cart | Books through the cart |
Either way the standing rule holds: a platform discount never comes out of the owner's payout, and it stops at the owner's payout floor. See Discounts and deals.
If something goes wrong
| What you see | What it means | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| "You need a saved ad creative first." | You have no saved ad post | Follow the link to the booking page, write one, then reopen the bundle |
| "Top up your wallet to book this bundle." | Your wallet cannot cover the total | Nothing was charged. Add funds and book again |
| "Some channels went unavailable — reopen the bundle and try again." | A listing was paused or removed between loading the page and booking | Reopen the bundle; the remaining channels price correctly |
| "This bundle's channels are no longer available." | Every listing in the bundle has gone inactive | Nothing was charged. Pick another bundle, or build your own basket |
| "That bundle isn't available." | The bundle was retired while your page was open | Reload the Channel finder page for the current set |
| A placement-allowance message | The bundle needs more placements than your plan has left this month | Book it next month, or upgrade |
FAQ
Can I change which channels are in a bundle?
No — the channels and their formats are the bundle. To hand-pick, add channels to your own cart and use its bundle offer, or let the Channel finder propose a basket you can edit.
Can I run different creatives on different channels in a bundle?
No. A bundle runs one saved ad post across all its channels at one start time. Book channels separately if they need different copy.
Is a bundle riskier than booking channels one by one?
No. Under the hood a bundle is exactly the same escrow-protected orders the cart produces. Every owner must still accept, every placement is still monitored, and every decline refunds automatically while the rest of the campaign proceeds.
