& 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 - 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
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.
