What Is the Vendor Deposit?
The platform has an optional deposit system for vendors. When it is enabled, a vendor must deposit a minimum amount of funds into their vendor wallet before their programs and campaign links become visible to affiliates. This protects against vendors creating programs they cannot pay out.
When it is disabled, vendors do not need to deposit anything. Their programs and campaign links are visible to affiliates immediately after admin approval, and the Admin takes responsibility for paying all commissions generated by vendor programs.
When the deposit requirement is turned off, the Admin is responsible for covering all affiliate commissions generated by vendor programs. Make sure this matches your business model before disabling it.
How to Turn Off the Deposit Requirement
- Log in to the admin panel.
- In the top navigation bar, click Marketing to open the dropdown menu.
- Click SaaS.
- Click the Vendor Deposit Settings tab.
- Find the Vendor Status toggle. If it is On, the deposit requirement is currently active. Click the toggle to switch it Off.
- The page will save the change automatically when you toggle it — no separate Save button is needed for this toggle.
How to Set the Minimum Deposit Amount
If you want to keep the deposit requirement active but change the minimum amount vendors must deposit, you can do so on the same tab:
- Make sure the Vendor Status toggle on the Vendor Deposit Settings tab is On.
- Find the Vendor Minimum Deposit field.
- Enter the minimum amount you want vendors to deposit before their programs go live.
- Click the Save Settings button at the bottom of the page.
Setting the minimum deposit to 0 while keeping the deposit toggle On is effectively the same as turning it off — vendors will not need to deposit anything, but the deposit system will still be active in the background.
