The model
How Palindrone works
One sales desk, two kinds of sellers on one rail. Platform account executives sign businesses ontothe platforms; each business's own team brings it more customers. Different jobs, different money — and the two never compete for the same cents.
Tier 1 — Platform AE
LiveSigns businesses onto the platform
A platform AE brings service businesses onto ClickReserv or Colmado. Every signup is attributed to the AE's personal code or link, and commission accrues from that business's subscription invoices — paid by the platform, released to the AE's connected Stripe account.
- 40% base rate on the business's subscription, paid as exactly two installments and then it stops:
- Initial — when the business pays invoice #1: your rate × one month.
- Retention — when it pays invoice #3 (it stayed): your rate × two months.
- The rate rises to 60% — the hard cap — only for businesses signed in a Mon–Sun week where the AE closed 12 or more.
- Every installment is paid out of money the business has already paid the platform; refunds and disputes reverse the matching commission.
Tier 2 — Business team AE
Not open yetBrings a business more customers
The extension this app exists for — not open yet, and this page will say so plainly when it is. A business on the platform hands its own team members personal referral links; every customer a team member brings in is attributed to them, and their bookings and orders accrue commission for that team member.
- The commission rate is set by the business, per team member, on the business's own net from attributed customers.
- Paid by the business, out of its own revenue — never from the platform's fee, and never by the platform.
- Payout is ledger-only in v1: the app computes what each team member is owed; the business pays through payroll or its own channel and marks it paid. No money moves inside Palindrone.
The invariant — commission vs the platform fee
The two tiers never compete for the same cents:
- A customer pays a booking or order total.
- The platform fee (the platform's cut + processing) comes off the top — unchanged by any AE activity, ever.
- Business net = the remainder.
- Team-member commission = rate × attributed business net — owed by the business, out of its money.
- Platform-AE commission lives on a different stream entirely — the business's subscription invoices — and is paid by the platform.
Refunds reverse commissions before they reverse anything else — money paths roll back, never swallow, and refunds are never blocked.
Where the money actually moves
Not here. Palindrone is the face: it shows codes, links, attribution, and the ledger. It reads each platform through a hard read-only connection, so nothing in this app can accrue, release, or reverse a cent. Attribution, accrual, payout release, and clawback all run inside the owning platform, next to its money invariants. Earnings depend entirely on the businesses and customers actually brought in — there is no salary, no minimum, and no earnings guarantee.
