Promoters and referral links
Each promoter gets a link that tracks their sales. You set the commission rule; you pay them yourself.
Steps
- Open Promoters and choose "Add a promoter". Give a name and a tracking code (their link ends with ?ref= and the code). You can add an email, a discount code and a guest list.
- Under "Commission rules", choose "Add a rule": a percent of net ticket revenue or a flat amount per ticket, for one promoter or event, with an optional cap per order and tiers.
- Read "Sales by promoter" for results and "Commission and payouts" for what is owed.
Good to know
- Commission is on net ticket revenue after Packdoor's fee and tax. Add-ons and merchandise never count.
- The rule in force at the time of sale is the one applied. Commission is pending until the date ends, then earned, and refunds reverse it.
- Orders from your own team or from the promoter themselves are excluded.
- Packdoor moves no money: you pay promoters yourself.
- Commission rules are on the Pro plan or as an add-on. Referral links without commission work as tracking only: see Reports, Sales, "By referral link".
