Every seller you know who joins Sendd through your link puts real money back in your pocket automatically, every month. This is how your community keeps its money circulating among itself.

Commerce platforms have been extracting value from independent sellers for years. They take transaction fees, monthly subscriptions, listing fees and then they spend that money on advertising to attract the next wave of merchants. The people who actually built the community, who referred their friends, who spread the word? They get nothing.

Sendd is built differently. The people who grow our network deserve a cut of what that growth generates. That's why we built referrals directly into the platform — not as a marketing gimmick, but as a genuine revenue mechanism for our sellers.

Money staying in the room

Think about your creative community: the other makers, artists, event organizers, and sellers you know. When you recommend Sendd to someone in your circle and they sign up, you've done the hard work. You vouched for the platform. You handed them a better way to sell. That introduction has value, and with Sendd's referral program, it's value you actually receive.

The idea is simple: your network keeps its money to itself. Instead of that value disappearing into a platform's growth budget, it flows back to you — the person who made the connection in the first place.

You earn 20% of everything Sendd makes from a seller you refer for the entire life of their account. No cap, no expiry.

How it works

You don't need to pitch anything complicated. You have a link. When someone signs up through it and starts selling, you earn.

1. Get your referral link Every Sendd seller has a unique referral link available inside their dashboard. It's yours permanently — share it wherever you like.

2. Share it with someone who should be on Sendd Message a maker friend. Drop it in your community group chat. Put it in your email footer or your Instagram bio. There's no wrong way to share it.

3. They sign up and start selling When they create their Sendd store through your link, the connection is permanent. You're attributed as their referrer from day one.

4. You earn 20% of what Sendd makes from them Sendd charges a 1% transaction fee on sales. Every time your referred seller sells something, Sendd takes 1% — and you receive 20% of that. It's automatic. No claiming, no chasing.

5. It never stops Your referral earnings don't expire after 30 days or a year. As long as that seller is active on Sendd, you earn. A busy seller who sticks with Sendd for years is years of passive revenue for you.

Note: Keep in mind that you have to setup a referral Payout's within your settings by connecting your Bank Account.

What does 20% actually look like?

What does 20% actually look like?

Let's run the numbers with a real scenario. Say you refer a seller who goes on to do $10,000,000 in sales through their Sendd store over the course of a year.

Twenty thousand dollars. Passively. From one referral. That's not a side hustle that's a meaningful income stream generated entirely because you made an introduction.

And because Sendd's fee is already one of the lowest in the industry, the sellers you refer are getting a genuinely good deal. That makes the referral conversation easy you're not pushing someone toward a platform that'll bleed them dry. You're inviting them somewhere you actually believe in.

Who should you refer?

Anyone who sells things or thinking about selling. Sendd works across physical products, digital downloads, events, and services. If you know people in any of these spaces, your referral link belongs in front of them:

• Independent makers and craft sellers paying too much in platform fees

• Event organisers who want direct-to-buyer ticketing without the middleman markup

• Artists and photographers selling prints or digital files

• Musicians selling merch or show tickets

• Service providers who want a simple storefront without a subscription

• Small businesses who've been meaning to get online properly

The creative communities that tend to be tight-knit are exactly where this programme shines. When a few people in a network all join Sendd and refer each other outward, that community is genuinely keeping value inside itself.

Why we built it this way

Sendd runs on a 1% transaction fee no monthly subscriptions, no listing fees, no forced upgrades. We only make money when our sellers make money. That model only works if we grow, and the most natural way to grow a platform like ours is through the networks that already exist among sellers.

Rather than spending that growth money on ads, we'd rather it went directly to the people who do the work of growing with us. When a seller refers another seller, they've done more than any ad could they've provided a trusted recommendation into a real relationship. That deserves to be recognised properly, not just with a discount code.

Twenty percent of our fee, paid permanently, is our commitment to that. It's our way of saying: the network you build has real value here, and you'll always see a share of what it generates.
