Commission Tracking — When Deal Closes

Broker ledger: Pending / Approved / Paid WA: Commission status on each change Auto-payout → Future Phase (manual in Ph1–2)

Affiliate Commission vs Deal Commission — Two Different Things

Affiliate Commission (Referral)

Every user (owner, buyer, broker) gets a unique referral code

Referred person signs up using code + completes a paid action

Referrer earns: cash credit or discount on platform

Tracked: referral code → attribution → reward ledger

Broker tier: higher commission than standard users

WA share button for referral link on every portal page

Deal Commission (Brokerage + Success Fee)

Triggered only when a deal actually closes on the platform

Platform success fee: 0.5–1% of deal value (from seller)

Broker brokerage: 1–2% of deal value (if broker involved)

Separate from affiliate — different ledger in admin

Admin manages both: Referral Ledger + Brokerage Ledger

Admin / Ops — Platform Control Centre

Internal team. Full platform oversight, listing quality, lead management, revenue tracking, communications.

Listing Management

Review queue: Basic 48hr · Standard/Premium 24hr · Enterprise same day

Full CRUD: Publish · Edit any field · Unpublish/Suspend · Delete (with audit log)

All admin actions logged with timestamp + admin ID

Owner gets WA alert when admin edits or suspends their listing

Re-categorise any listing to correct vertical

Mark deal as "Closed" → triggers success fee + archive

Broadcast Tool

Select a segment: All owners · All buyers · Sector-specific buyers · Expired listing owners · Premium subscribers · etc.

Send via: WhatsApp (template) · Email · Browser push

Use cases: New feature · Event invite · "New listings in your sector" · Renewal offer

Replaces telecaller team for mass outreach

Commission Management

Affiliate Ledger: Referral code tracking · Attribution · Reward approval

Brokerage Ledger: Deal close → commission calc → admin approve → bank transfer

Two separate ledger views — never mixed

Auto-payout → deferred to future phase

v4 Decisions Reversed

Items Removed

3

New Features Added

Two v4 decisions reversed by team

Expired listing visibility — REVERSED

v4 said: Listing goes unlisted (invisible to public)

v4.1 decision: Listing stays LIVE and publicly visible

Only the Enquire/Contact CTA is disabled for public visitors

Owner sees lead count only — contact details locked until renewal

Why: Better for SEO (pages stay indexed). Better for conversion (buyers still find it; owner gets WA nudge).

NDA tier assignment — REVERSED

v4 said: Owner freely chooses any tier including NDA

v4.1 decision: System auto-assigns by asking price

Under ₹25L → Standard only · ₹25L–₹1Cr → Confidential · ₹1Cr+ → NDA available

Owner can upgrade but not downgrade below price minimum

Why: Prevents everyone choosing NDA on a ₹10L restaurant listing. Eliminates the "won't everyone pick NDA" problem.
