The user clicks on the "Advertise here" message, then they'll be redirected to a page, this page will check if the selected adslot is empty or not, if not, then it'll ask them to fill form options (like name, banner, duration), once they submit the form, it'll check once again if the adslot isn't taken, and then, it'll proceed with the payments using Coinpayments API as well as using the exchange rate..
And then once they pay, the Adslot will be allocated for them and it'll be checked using a cron job for the expiration of it..

Using the 2nd option (the Advertise Here option) is more expensive (for the person renting the space ; i guess coinpayments charges its own fees for every tiny satoshi you move with their service) and is more time consuming for the faucet owner to maintain, test, update,etc) so the first option ( payments directly to faucet admin wallet) is way much better in every aspect .
I wanted to rent space on a service "Advertise Here" on virtualpub or a faucet, don't remember the name, some time ago and when i clicked Advertise Here they asked me to pay 0.01 btc which was an insane amount even at that time/btc price.
Do you remember the virtualpub game faucet ? had ptc ads and renting space but the payments asked by tomos81 was directly to his wallet , not depending on faucethub, saving the user to pay additional fees for the greedy coinpayments service, so much much more cheap than the greedy "advertise here" option etc.
Every ad service, every micro wallet, (excepts the network miners fee) asks its own fees and that is reflecting on the faucet claimer that's why i encourage faucet admins to find the best ways to save money by not spending on useless fees and/or to save the users to pay useless fees (e.g. coinpayments) and increase the faucet' claim value for the users if their faucet owner dream is to have 3k users daily like virtualpub.
