Vendor Store — Are Products in the Main Store or a Separate One?

Short Answer

When a vendor adds products to your platform, those products appear in both:

  1. The shared main store — one single storefront that shows all products from the admin and all vendors together.
  2. The vendor’s own store page — a separate page showing only that vendor’s products.

Your affiliates can promote either or both. All commissions flow through the same tracking and wallet system.

The Two Store Layers

1. The Main Store (shared)

Your platform has one main store at yourdomain.com/store. Every product — whether created by the admin or by a vendor — appears here after admin approval. Customers can browse and buy from all vendors in one place.

Affiliates promote the main store using their personal tracking link. When a customer clicks an affiliate link and buys any product (from any vendor), the affiliate earns the commission set for that product.

2. Individual Vendor Store Pages

Every vendor also gets their own store page — a filtered view showing only their products. The URL format is yourdomain.com/store/{vendor-slug}/{affiliate-id}. Vendors can share this link on their own website or marketing channels.

Affiliates can also get their tracking link specifically for a vendor’s store page. Any sale made through that link from that vendor’s products earns the affiliate their commission.

The vendor store page is visible from the vendor’s dashboard under Share Your Vendor Store. Affiliates get their version of that link with their own ID embedded for tracking.

Product Approval

Vendor products do not go live automatically. Every product a vendor adds must be approved by the Admin first. Until the Admin approves it, the product is not visible on the main store or the vendor’s store page.

The admin receives a notification when a vendor submits a new product and can approve or reject it from the admin panel.

How Commission Works on Vendor Products

When a sale happens through an affiliate link on a vendor product:

  1. The affiliate earns their commission (set on the product).
  2. The admin earns a platform fee (set in Admin → Store → SaaS Settings → Store Admin Fee).
  3. The vendor receives the remainder into their vendor wallet.

All three happen automatically — no manual splitting is needed.

Do Vendors Run Their Affiliates Separately?

No — it is the same pool of affiliates. Any affiliate registered on your platform can promote any approved vendor product in the main store. However, if a vendor wants only their own recruited affiliates to promote their products, they can switch their Share Sales Setting to My Affiliates from their vendor settings. In that mode, only affiliates the vendor personally invited will see and be able to promote that vendor’s products.

See the guide Invite People to Become Your Affiliates (Vendor Invite Link & Share Sales) for the full setup.
