Track earnings & revenue sharing
Track publisher monetization performance across Allspice experiences. Revenue is attributed fairly based on time users spend on your recipes and qualifying commerce actions.

Prerequisites
Before revenue share can be activated for your account, you'll need:
- An approved Allspice Partner account
- Your domain successfully linked + verified in the Partner Portal
- The Allspice widget live on supported recipe pages
- A signed partner agreement (includes your revenue share / commission terms)
- A payout method on file (configured during onboarding)
If you operate multiple sites, link all domains up front so attribution works correctly from day one.
Ads & Monetization Compatibility
Allspice is designed to enhance your site monetization - not replace it.
Ads can continue to run normally
Because the Allspice widget does not require a full-page takeover, publishers can continue to run their existing ad setup while benefiting from higher session time.
Widget placement avoids common ad locations
Allspice is engineered to avoid blocking common ad placements, including:
- sticky bottom footer ads
- common floating video ad placements near the bottom of the viewport
Higher engagement time + stable ad delivery = increased revenue opportunity, even before revenue share is factored in.
Ads inside the Allspice widget
Allspice supports limited ad placements inside the widget today (such as footer-style and floating units).
Whether widget-based ads are enabled depends on:
- your ad provider setup
- compatibility requirements
- partnership agreements with ad platforms (when applicable)
If you're running Mediavine, Raptive, or other major providers, we can review widget ad compatibility during onboarding.
Grocery Delivery Revenue Share
Allspice also generates revenue through grocery delivery commissions when users build carts and place delivery orders via supported providers.
When grocery revenue is earned
Grocery delivery commissions are earned when:
- a user adds ingredients from one or more recipes into a grocery list
- the grocery list is sent to a grocery delivery partner (ex: Instacart)
- the order is placed successfully
How grocery revenue is attributed to publishers
When a grocery order includes recipes from one or more Allspice partner sites, revenue share is distributed proportionally.
This is generally determined by which partner recipes contributed to the grocery list and order.
Example (simplified):
- A grocery order contains ingredients from 2 recipes on Site A
- and 2 recipes on Site B
- → grocery commerce revenue is split proportionally between Site A and Site B
This prevents "last recipe added wins" behavior and better reflects the true value each publisher contributed.
Grocery commission rates
Commerce commission rates are based on Allspice's negotiated agreements with grocery delivery partners and may change over time.
Payout Timing & Reporting
When payouts happen
Partner payouts occur after Allspice receives funds from:
- grocery commerce partners
- other qualifying monetization partners
This means partner payouts are not instant and may follow standard payout delays common in partner and affiliate ecosystems.
Reporting and analytics
Partners can track performance inside the Partner Portal, including:
- engagement and usage trends
- recipe performance
- ingredient-level analytics
Revenue reporting is currently being expanded, and will include clearer breakdowns as it rolls out.
Analytics update daily, so it's normal to see a delay before new activity is reflected.
Upcoming Monetization Tools
Allspice is actively building more monetization options for publishers.
Ad-free subscription (publisher-configured)
We're working on an ad-free experience where users can pay a fee set by you (the publisher) to browse and cook on your site without ads.
This revenue split is expected to be significantly more favorable to publishers than traditional ad monetization.
Premium recipes and meal plans
We're also building tools for publishers to offer premium content through the Partner Portal, such as:
- premium recipes
- free or paid meal plans
- subscriber-only content experiences
These features are designed to let publishers monetize directly through Allspice without requiring a full membership rebuild on your site.
