Supplier-chain payouts: margins, splits and no double funding

Step by step

1. 1

   Review retained shares

   The original buyer funds the order once. Each supplier’s payout reflects its retained entitlement after its delegated obligations, rather than the full parent value plus child values.

2. 2

   Check an example against the tree

   Illustrative example without fees: a 100,000 delegated scope with 10% retained gives 10,000 to Tier 1 and a 90,000 Tier 2 order. If Tier 2 retains 10% of its 90,000, it keeps 9,000 and delegates 81,000. Total payouts remain 100,000.

3. 3

   Separate fees from margins

   Any early-payment platform and processing fees are allocated once across the funding split. Supplier margins are supplier earnings, not platform revenue. Read the actual chain quote rather than adding fees at every tier.

4. 4

   Track every split to completion

   Funding creates separate supplier payout lines. A single settled line does not complete the whole batch. The chain is credited only after the required split payouts are confirmed.

Important checks

• Do not request full parent payment in addition to downstream payouts.
• Examples exclude tax, currency conversion and fees unless explicitly included. Use the order’s actual amounts.
