The Vendor Journey – From Registration to Running Programs

What Is a Vendor?

A Vendor is a user who has been given vendor-level access by the Admin. Unlike a regular affiliate who promotes other people’s programs, a Vendor creates their own programs and products. Affiliates then sign up to promote those programs and earn commissions. The Vendor earns from each sale after the affiliate commission has been paid out.

A Vendor can also participate as an affiliate — they have access to both parts of the platform.

Step 1: Registration

A vendor starts as a regular registered user on the platform. Registration works the same way as for an affiliate — they fill in the registration form and wait for approval if your settings require it.

Step 2: Getting Vendor Access

Vendor access is not granted automatically. It must be enabled by the Admin:

1. Log in to the admin panel.
2. In the top navigation bar, click Users → click Users List.
3. Find the user and open their profile.
4. Enable Vendor Access for that account.
5. Save the changes.

Once vendor access is enabled, the user will see a Vendor Panel section in their dashboard with all vendor-specific tools.

Step 3: The Vendor Dashboard

After vendor access is granted, the vendor logs in and navigates to the Vendor Panel in their dashboard. The vendor dashboard shows:

• Wallet balance and deposit balance.
• Total sales from their programs.
• Affiliate activity (clicks and sales) tied to their programs.
• Recent orders and commission payouts.

Step 4: Creating an Affiliate Program

The vendor goes to Programs in their vendor panel and creates a new affiliate program. When creating a program, they set:

• Program name and description.
• Commission rate — the percentage or fixed amount affiliates will earn per sale.
• Target URL (the page affiliates will send traffic to).

After submission, the program is sent to the Admin for review. It will not be visible to affiliates until the Admin approves it.

Step 5: Affiliates Promote the Program

Once the Admin approves the vendor’s program:

1. Affiliates can see the program in their Campaigns list.
2. Affiliates get a tracking link for that program.
3. Affiliates share their link and drive traffic and sales to the vendor’s program.

Step 6: Sales and Commission Split

When a sale is made through an affiliate’s tracking link:

1. The system records the sale and applies the commission rate set on the program.
2. The affiliate receives their commission into their wallet.
3. The vendor receives the remainder of the sale value into their vendor wallet.
4. The Admin may also take a platform fee, depending on the commission structure configured.

Step 7: Requesting a Withdrawal

When the vendor’s wallet balance reaches the minimum withdrawal threshold, the vendor can submit a payout request from their dashboard. The Admin reviews and approves or declines it — the same process as for affiliates.
