VYPA sells these to local advertisers, and this is the time you earn on. An advertiser buys a slot on your screen for the days they book, not the whole screen.
How VYPA works
How VYPA works: one screen, three ways to use it
VYPA is digital signage software, a free way for venues to earn from their screens, and a place for local businesses to advertise. The same screens run all three. Here is how each part works, and how they feed each other.
- Signage from CA$10 a screen
- Hosting is free to join
- Ads from CA$3 a day
- 150+live screens on the network
- 8+industries already on VYPA
- 99.9%platform uptime
- 70%of net ad revenue goes to the host
The network explained
One network, three roles
Every screen on VYPA runs the same software. What changes is who is using it and why. Most people start in one role and add another later.
-
1. Run
Businesses run their screens with VYPA Signage
A shop, clinic, gym or church puts its own content on the TV it already owns: menus, prices, service times and notices. It pays from CA$10 per screen per month, after a 30-day free trial.
-
2. Host
Venues switch on hosting and earn
Any venue with a screen can join VYPA Host for free. Part of the screen's time is sold to local advertisers, and the venue keeps 70% of the net ad revenue after processing fees.
-
3. Advertise
Local businesses book those screens
Advertisers pick screens on a map, choose their days and pay from CA$3 per day, or ₦500 per day in Nigeria. Their ad plays in the places their customers already wait.
Then the loop turns. Every new screen is one more place to advertise. Every new booking is more money for the venue that hosts it. That is how a screen on VYPA can pay for itself.
You do not need all three. A dental office can run VYPA Signage and never show an ad. A brand can advertise without owning a screen. The roles share one platform, so moving between them takes a few clicks, not a new supplier. Pick the part that fits you:
If you run screens
How VYPA Signage works
Cloud digital signage for the screens you already have. Upload your content once, schedule it, and change it from anywhere.
Create an account
Sign up at app.vypa.co. The 30-day free trial covers one screen, and you do not need a card.
Install the player
Put the VYPA Player on your TV or device, then enter the pairing code it shows into your dashboard.
Add your content
Upload images, video or PDF files, or show a web page. Put them in a playlist and pick a layout.
Schedule and go live
Choose what plays when, and on which screens. Changes reach every screen from one dashboard.
The player stores your content, so the screen keeps playing if the internet drops and picks up your changes when it reconnects. The player setup guide walks through each device, and VYPA Signage covers every feature.
Players

If you have a screen and foot traffic
How VYPA Host works
Hosting is free to join. VYPA sells ad time on your screen to local businesses, and you keep 70% of the net ad revenue after processing fees.

Connect your screen
Install the VYPA Player on your screen. The same players listed above work for hosting.
Ads start playing
Advertisers find your screen on the map and book it by the day. Their ads play in the slots set aside for advertising.
Get paid
You earn 70% of net ad revenue after processing fees. Payouts go out automatically every month, or on request.
Joining costs nothing. There is no fee to list your screen, and part of its time always stays yours. How hosting works
Sharing a screen
How a screen's time is shared
Every screen that hosts ads runs twelve slots in its loop. Eight are for advertising. Four stay yours.
4 slots that stay yours
Use them for your own promotions, your menu, your opening hours or anything else you like. Hosting does not take your screen away from you.
If an ad does not suit your venue, tell us. We review it and, where it is right to, remove or replace it. What you earn depends on how many of the eight slots are booked, so treat a fully booked screen as the ceiling, not a promise. See what hosts earn.
If you want to be seen locally
How VYPA Advertise works
Self-serve screen advertising for local businesses. Book real screens by the day, from CA$3 per day, or ₦500 per day in Nigeria.
Create your ad
Sign up, then upload your own ad or design one in the platform.
Pick screens on a map
Find screens near your customers and choose them by location and venue type.
Choose your days
Book the days you want. Closed days are not charged, and your rate is locked when you pay.
See proof of play
Your ad goes live on the screens you chose, and you get proof that it played.
A campaign adds up simply: screens × days × daily rate. You can price five screens for a week before you commit a dollar. Read more on VYPA Advertise and in advertising prices.
Proof and payouts
What keeps the network honest
A screen network only works if advertisers can see their ads ran, and venues get paid for running them.
Proof of play
Advertisers get evidence that their ad ran on the screens they booked. Proof and measurement explains what is recorded.
Host payouts
Hosts keep 70% of net ad revenue after processing fees. Payouts go out automatically every month, or on request.
Uptime and offline playback
The platform runs at 99.9% uptime. If a venue's internet drops, the player keeps playing the content it has stored.
