Why catalog teams pick Bannervora.
Data drives the output
Every row in your feed becomes a creative. Bannervora is built around feeds and workflows rather than designing ads one by one.
No seat pricing
Bannervora prices by creative volume, not per editor seat, so adding teammates doesn't change the bill.
Hands-off refresh
Scheduled and feed-triggered runs keep prices, stock and badges current without reopening a design.
Your storage, your URLs
Hosted URLs for catalog ads, or bring your own R2, S3 or GCS bucket on Growth and up.
