What Vendors need to know about launching and managing offers on PassiveVelocity — including who handles payments, refunds, Affiliate payments, and disputes.
PassiveVelocity is a technology and reporting platform. The Vendor or represented platform remains responsible for all financial activity connected to its offer, including checkout, customer funds, refunds, returns, Affiliate commissions, Affiliate payments, disputes, fulfillment, taxes, licensing, and regulatory obligations.
PassiveVelocity is a technology and reporting platform. It lets Vendors create and administer offers, control Affiliate access (Open, Moderated, or Invitation-Only), manage Affiliate enrollment, generate unique Affiliate links with standard attribution, distribute promotional assets, and review click, lead, conversion, and commission reporting with exportable transaction history.
PassiveVelocity does not process customer payments, hold customer funds, run your checkout, issue refunds or returns, fund or pay Affiliate commissions, provide customer support for your product, resolve customer disputes, or take on your taxes, licensing, or regulatory obligations. Those remain the responsibility of the Vendor or the platform it represents.
No. PassiveVelocity never processes your customers' payments and never holds their funds. Customers pay through the Vendor's own checkout and payment processor. PassiveVelocity only tracks and reports the resulting activity.
The Vendor. All refunds, returns, chargebacks, and reversals are handled by the Vendor (or the platform it represents) through its own payment systems and policies. PassiveVelocity can reflect reversals in reporting but does not issue or fund them.
The Vendor funds and pays Affiliate commissions. PassiveVelocity records and reports attributed conversions and commission amounts so both sides have a clear ledger, but it does not hold, fund, or disburse Affiliate payments.
Affiliate payment is the Vendor's obligation. PassiveVelocity provides the attribution and reporting record, but it does not guarantee, advance, or enforce Affiliate payment. Persistent failure to pay Affiliates or honor stated terms may lead PassiveVelocity to review, pause, or remove the offer from the platform.
The Vendor is responsible for resolving disputes with its customers and Affiliates, including payment disputes, chargebacks, and commission disagreements. PassiveVelocity can supply the relevant tracking and reporting records to help clarify what happened.
The Vendor. Each Vendor is responsible for ensuring its offer, claims, disclosures, licensing, and operations comply with all applicable laws and regulations in the markets it serves. PassiveVelocity provides platform tooling and reviews for transparency but does not assume the Vendor's regulatory obligations.
The Vendor. All tax collection, reporting, and remittance connected to the offer — including any obligations tied to customer sales and Affiliate payments — are the Vendor's responsibility.
The Vendor owns the customer relationship end to end — the sale, the product or service, support, billing, and any ongoing communication. PassiveVelocity does not sit between the Vendor and its customers.
No. PassiveVelocity provides access to the platform and its tools; it does not guarantee any level of Affiliate participation, traffic, leads, conversions, or revenue. Results depend on the offer, its terms, and Affiliate activity.
An offer must complete the review process before it can be published to the network. Until then it is not publicly listed. Review confirms the offer's structure, claims, disclosures, and tracking are in order — it is not an endorsement or a guarantee of results.
Vetted means the offer has been through PassiveVelocity's review — checking that its structure, claims, disclosures, and requirements are clearly stated and that tracking is valid. It signals transparency for Affiliates; it is not an endorsement, warranty, or promise of any outcome.
Yes. With Moderated access, Vendors review and approve or decline Affiliate requests before those Affiliates can promote the offer. Open access lets Affiliates join automatically, and Invitation-Only limits the offer to Affiliates the Vendor invites.
Yes. With Invitation-Only access, a Vendor can restrict an offer to specific Affiliates it invites, so only those Affiliates can enroll and generate tracked links.
Yes. Using Invitation-Only access, an offer can be kept private and available only to invited Affiliates rather than listed openly to the network.
Yes. Vendors control offer status and can pause an offer to stop new activity or archive it when it is no longer running. Status controls are available from the Vendor dashboard.
Yes. PassiveVelocity may decline, pause, or remove any offer at its discretion — for example if it is deceptive, non-compliant, generates excessive complaints or reversals, or breaches the Vendor terms.
PassiveVelocity generates unique Affiliate links and uses standard link attribution to record clicks, leads, and conversions. Conversion data can be reported to PassiveVelocity so activity is attributed to the correct Affiliate.
Onboarding includes a tracking validation step before an offer is published, to confirm attribution is working. If tracking issues arise later, PassiveVelocity reports what it can measure; because the Vendor owns the checkout and conversion data, resolving integration gaps and supplying accurate conversion data is a shared step led by the Vendor.
Yes — and they must. Vendors always use their own checkout and payment processing. PassiveVelocity attributes and reports activity around that checkout; it does not replace or operate it.
When the Vendor reports refunds, chargebacks, or reversed transactions (or excludes them from qualifying revenue), PassiveVelocity reflects them in reporting so attributed performance and any revenue-participation calculation stay accurate. PassiveVelocity does not process the reversals themselves.
Yes. PassiveVelocity offers global platform access. Vendors remain responsible for meeting the legal, tax, and regulatory requirements of every market in which they operate.
Vendors get click, lead, conversion, and commission reporting, Affiliate activity reporting, and exportable transaction history (CSV, with expanded exports on higher tiers). This gives a single view of Affiliate performance for the offer.
There are two configurable models. Revenue Participation is a default 15% of qualifying net revenue attributed through PassiveVelocity (Affiliate commissions separate; refunds, chargebacks, taxes, and reversals excluded). Tiered Subscription is a flat monthly platform fee — Vendor Launch ($99), Vendor Growth ($299), and Vendor Scale (custom). Prices and limits are configurable and confirmed before launch.
Revenue Participation has no long-term contract by default and uses a 30-day termination notice, with custom terms available for high-volume Vendors. Tiered Subscription is a month-to-month, auto-renewing platform subscription you can cancel at any time; cancellation stops future renewals.
Create a Vendor account, verify your company information, select a pricing model, create your offer, choose an Affiliate access type, configure commission and qualification terms, upload promotional assets, configure conversion reporting, submit for review, complete tracking validation, and publish. From there you monitor Affiliate activity from your dashboard.
