How are introducers attributed in multi-acquirer onboarding?
Each introducer gets an account and an invitation link per merchant, so attribution is recorded from the first click instead of being typed into a free-text field later. The introducer follows the merchants it brought in, while the operator keeps the review and the submission of each application to its acquiring partners.

Attribution from the first click
Introducers, whether sales agents, resellers or software partners, bring merchants to the operator and are paid on what those merchants process. Attribution usually fails when it depends on a name typed into a field weeks later. On the platform, each introducer has an account and generates an invitation link per merchant. The merchant that applies through that link is attributed to the introducer from the first click.
What the introducer sees
- The merchants it brought in and the status of each application.
- Not the review, the partners' tracks or the operator's risk notes.
- Its own reporting on live merchants, as the operator allows.
What the operator keeps
The review of each application, the submission to acquiring partners and the decision. Introducers follow progress without touching the file. Commission calculations then rest on a recorded attribution rather than on reconciled spreadsheets, and disputes about who brought which merchant become rare. For operators running several sales channels, the invitation link is also a clean way to measure which channel converts applications into live merchants.
