FAQs

What do teams ask about Brand deals?

Find more practical steps in our guides.

How do settlements relate to Profit & cost?

Profit & cost uses commission calculated per order and does not depend on a settlement statement. Settlement reconciliation tracks whether payment has been received.

What if one partner has multiple stores?

Link all its stores to the same partner. Future orders map automatically, without selecting a partner for each order.

Can staff access Business center?

Currently, owners and business staff have access. A view limited to an employee's own account commission and receipts is in development.
