What is Vendor Referrals?
Vendor Referrals is meant to let your existing sellers invite new sellers to your marketplace and earn a commission on the new seller's sales for a set number of months.
- You: Vendors → Referrals — a Referrals tab (every referral and its earnings) and a Configuration tab (the programme rules).
- Vendors: Referrals in the vendor panel — their referral code, a share link, their referrals and earnings.
Important: what works today
- Programme settings, referral codes, share links and the admin and vendor screens work.
- When a referred seller's order is completed, an earning is recorded for the referrer.
But:
- The code and share link are not used at sign-up. The vendor registration page doesn't read the code, so no new referrals are created from it. Nothing is recorded until this is fixed.
- Referral earnings are not paid out. They are shown, but they're not added to the referrer's balance or payouts. Pay them yourself if you run the programme.
- Duration and minimum sales rules aren't applied yet. Commission duration (months) and Min referred vendor sales for payout are saved but not checked when earnings are recorded.
