Vendor FAQs
What happens after the 6-month free period?+
Nothing changes about the model — there's still no monthly subscription. You continue paying only $50 per qualified lead and commission on closed deals.
What counts as a 'qualified' lead?+
A real customer with verified contact details, a project in your service area, and a quote range matching your offering. Duplicates, fake numbers, and out-of-area leads are refunded automatically.
When is the commission charged?+
Commission is invoiced within 7 days of you marking a deal as closed in your dashboard. We trust the honour system but spot-audit closures against installation records.
Can I pause or cap my lead spend?+
Yes. Set a monthly lead cap or pause incoming leads anytime from your vendor dashboard.
What about disputes?+
Lead disputes are reviewed within 48 hours. If we agree the lead was unqualified, the $50 is refunded to your wallet.
