Approving a partner

What approval creates, and the one decision that matters.

The decision

An application arrives with what the applicant told us: who they are, where, how many travellers a month, how they sell. The decision is which type of partner they should be, because that decides everything afterwards.

An audience rather than a counter usually means Creator. A business that wants to hold stock and price it means Agent. A company buying for its own staff means Corporate. Everything else is usually a Reseller.

What approval does

  • Creates the organisation with the capabilities its type starts with.
  • Creates their first referral code.
  • Creates a draft storefront.
  • Emails the applicant a sign-in link — there is no password to pass on.

Note

The capabilities are a starting point. The Access tab on a partner adds or removes individual tools afterwards, and says how this partner differs from the preset for their type.
