Partner programs
Run a single-tier partner program with a self-serve portal
Give partners and affiliates their own portal, attribute every referral by link or coupon code, and let them see exactly what they've earned.
What it solves
Most small businesses run referrals on goodwill and a spreadsheet: partners chase you for 'where's my commission?', attribution is argued over WhatsApp, and nobody trusts the number. Finocket gives each partner a self-serve portal and a clear referral timeline, so who referred whom, and what stage each referral is at, answers itself.
How we're different
There's no 2–3% payout middleman between you and your partners. You run the program, you keep the relationship, and attribution works even without cookies. Mint a per-partner coupon code and a WhatsApp or word-of-mouth referral still counts, first-referral-wins.

Referral, reseller or accountant, on one spine
A reseller or a CA is a KIND of partner on the same machinery, not a second system: a signup bounty compiles onto the shipped volume-tier rule and Y1/Y2/Y3 recurring rates onto the shipped time-tier rule, so every kind accrues into the same append-only ledger with no parallel commission engine to reconcile. It stays single-tier, with no downline or multi-level structure, and a claimed signup is first-wins, so a replayed claim can never mint a second attribution. Self-referral and fraud checks run at claim time.
A partner cockpit: earned, held, maturing
A partner opens one screen showing their balance, their pipeline, what's on hold, the date each accrual matures, a monthly earnings series in whole paise, and attention cards they can dismiss. Statements appear only once finalised, with the payment reference when there is one. At-risk and churn signals are a plain rule over the ledger, not a model. There is no payout execution in it at all: settlement is a bank transfer someone makes outside Finocket and records here.
Shop affiliates: the same programme, on your own storefront and till
If you run a Finocket shop, turn on the Shop affiliates preset and the identical engine credits a partner the moment a shopper follows their link or types their code: on your online storefront, a catalogue page, or at the till. Commission is worked out on what the shopper actually paid, before GST, with the same hold, clawback-on-return and monthly statement every other partner already gets.

Questions
Do referrals work without tracking cookies?
Yes. Mint a per-partner coupon code with a usage cap and expiry, and entering it on a client's invoice attributes the referral to that partner. No cookie or click is needed, so WhatsApp and word-of-mouth referrals count. First referral still wins.
What do partners see?
Each partner gets a self-serve portal with their referral link, share kit, per-currency balances, what they're owed, and a step-by-step timeline for every referral, and only their own rows, never anyone else's. A reseller or accountant partner also gets a cockpit showing pipeline, holds, the maturity date of each accrual and a monthly earnings series.
Can I run a reseller channel as well as an affiliate program?
Yes. A reseller (or an accountant) is a partner KIND on the same spine, with a signup bounty and Y1/Y2/Y3 recurring rates compiled onto the commission rules engine you already have, accruing into the same append-only ledger. It's single-tier only: there is no downline or multi-level structure, and no second, unaudited ledger to reconcile.
Does Finocket pay partners out?
No. There is no payout execution anywhere in the product. Finocket accrues, holds, matures, claws back and produces the statement; the settlement itself is a bank transfer someone makes outside Finocket and records against the statement.
Does a shop affiliate's link or code actually earn commission, or only track clicks?
It earns. The moment a shopper's order is billed after following a partner's shop link or typing their code (online, or at your till), that sale is credited to the partner and flows into the same commission engine every other partner earns through: the same hold window, the same GST-aware base, the same monthly statement. Commission is worked out on what was actually collected before GST, never on the tax on top of it.
Partners send you more business because they can see what each referral paid them.

Partner programs and commissions
Run a referral program with links, coupon codes, milestones and a referee discount. Commission accrues on collected revenue by default, or on a deal's own value if you choose, into an append-only ledger; flagged accruals wait for your review, and partners track everything in a self-serve portal.
Partner agreement and terms
Publish the terms a partner or affiliate accepts with your invitation. Every acceptance records the version and a fingerprint of the exact text; the shipped template is a starting point and cannot be published unchanged.
