What is Vendor Referrals?
Vendor Referrals lets 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.
How it works
- A seller copies their share link (or code) from Referrals in their panel.
- A new seller opens the link and registers. The code is remembered for 30 days, so it still counts if they register later from the same browser.
- A referral is created for the inviting seller. With Auto-approve on it's active straight away; otherwise it starts Pending and becomes Active when you approve the new seller.
- Each time one of the new seller's orders is completed, the inviting seller earns the commission (a % of the order or a fixed amount), for the Commission duration you set.
- Earnings stay Pending until the new seller's completed sales reach Min referred vendor sales for payout; then they all become Approved.
Rules: one code works for any number of new sellers, a seller can be referred only once, and nobody can use their own code (same account or same email).
Paying referrers: earnings are recorded and shown, but they are not added to the referrer's balance or payouts automatically. Pay approved earnings yourself.
