Riptide Console marketplace discovery with supply packs and activations
Open Lake · Discovery

From discovery to delivery

Use listings to find inventory, demand, or services your platform needs. After activation, review the receipt for each recorded fill to check who participated and what they charged.

1. Find partners

Browse the supply, demand, buying services, and software products published for your tenant.

2. Agree terms

Propose terms for a listing. Both parties can review revisions, counter, approve, or decline.

3. Activate

Activate approved terms to connect inventory and demand, hire a buying service, or install a product. Some listings allow immediate activation.

4. Review fees

Review a fill receipt to see the participating partners, their roles, and the fees recorded for that impression.

Choose how to participate

Publish what you offer and choose the partners and services your business needs.

Publishers

Set floor prices and limits on the number of intermediaries. Connect directly with demand partners or offer inventory through curated packages.

Buyers

Compare the partners and fees involved in buying inventory. Choose direct relationships, buying services, or other products under agreed terms.

Intermediaries

Offer a model, data service, optimization tool, or verification product to eligible tenants. Publish its terms and account for its fees on receipts and settlement statements.

Platform operators

Offer private marketplace packages and discoverable listings under your own brand. Control who can see and activate each listing.

Connected to your ad platform

Activated listings use Riptide's auction, marketplace, and extension services. You can manage these partner connections alongside existing campaigns and deals.

Deals and marketplaces

Run negotiated deals, curated marketplace packages, and open demand in the same auction.

Supply transparency

Check supply authorization through ads.txt, app-ads.txt, and sellers.json.

Plugins

Add serving plugins, register decision models, or build reporting integrations through the supported APIs.

Agent controls

Use MCP tools with tenant permissions, action limits, approvals, and audit records.

Access and setup

Riptide supports listings, proposals, activations, receipt reads, and product installation. Your tenant's access determines which listings you can discover and use. Negotiated listings require approved terms. Publishing a software product requires vendor access and conformance results verified by the operator.

Receipts require recorded traffic. Settlement requires applicable fee schedules, partner agreements, and configured finance services. Follow the Open Lake guide to test the workflow, and use the integration examples to inspect your tenant.

Plan your Open Lake setup

Discuss your partner connections, listing requirements, and fee arrangements.
