& Groups
Two ways to sell as a team on Traaaction: structured organizations and informal groups.
Organizations are structured teams with a leader who negotiates deals directly with startups.
- An approved seller creates an organization → validated by the Traaaction administrator
- The creator becomes the leader (negotiation, member management)
- Members join the organization by invitation or application
- 1The startup proposes a mission to the organization with a total reward
- 2The leader accepts and sets their share (e.g., €3 per sale)
- 3The member reward is calculated automatically: total - 15% platform fee - leader share
- 4The deal is locked once accepted (immutable)
- 5All active members are automatically enrolled in the mission
For each sale by an organization member, two commissions are created simultaneously:
Member commission
Their share of the reward, with the 15% platform fee
Leader commission
Their negotiated share, with no platform fee (funded directly by the startup)
In case of refund, both commissions are automatically deleted together.
Technical: leader commission sale_id = {original}:orgcut (ensures uniqueness). Leader commissions are excluded from recurring count to avoid false limits.
Groups are informal teams for selling together simply.
- Any approved seller can create a group freely (no admin approval)
- Maximum 10 members, one group per seller
- Invitation via shareable code
Only INVITE_ONLY missions can be proposed to organizations.
Auto-enrollment: when the leader accepts a mission, all active members are automatically enrolled (ShortLink, Redis cache, and MissionEnrollment created).
- All commission goes to the group creator
- No automatic split → the creator redistributes manually
- Advantage: fewer transfer fees, more simplicity
- If the creator leaves → group archived (existing commissions continue their lifecycle)
A seller can be a member of multiple organizations simultaneously.
Refund cascade: when a sale is refunded, both the member and leader commissions are automatically deleted together.
