- Author: Austin

What if every friend you told about ShopBroker earned you money? What if recommendations you'd make anyway turned into BrokerBucks that reduce your service fees?

That's ShopBroker Partners. Our referral program that rewards you for sharing what you already love. Here's exactly how it works and how to maximize your rewards.

---

## How It Works

The concept is simple. Share, they sell, you save.

### Step 1: Get Your Partner Link

Every ShopBroker user has a unique partner link. Find it in your account settings under "Partner Program." This link tracks anyone who signs up through your recommendation.

### Step 2: Share With People Who'd Benefit

Tell friends, family, and followers who have items to sell. Share your link on social media. Mention it in conversations about decluttering or local selling. The people most likely to convert are those already thinking about selling.

### Step 3: They Sign Up and Complete Onboarding

When someone clicks your link and creates an account, they're linked to you. When they complete onboarding (connect Stripe or PayPal), you earn your first reward.

### Step 4: You Earn BrokerBucks in Two Stages

ShopBroker Partners now rewards you twice:

| Milestone | BrokerBucks |

|-----------|-------------|

| Referral completes onboarding | 💰 10 |

| Referral completes first transaction | 💰 15 |

| **Total per referral** | **💰 25** |

🔒

How Rewards Work: BrokerBucks are deposited to your account immediately when each milestone is reached. They automatically reduce service fees on your future sales and never expire!

---

## The Math: How Much You Save

Let's break down the actual value.

### Standard Fee Structure

ShopBroker charges a 15% service fee on completed sales. Sell something for $100, you receive $85 after the fee.

### BrokerBucks Impact

BrokerBucks reduce your service fees dollar-for-dollar. With 💰 25 from a single referral:

**Example savings:**

- Covers full service fee on a $167 sale
- Reduces service fee on larger sales
- Stacks with multiple referrals

### Realistic Referral Earnings

Each successful referral earns you 💰 25 in BrokerBucks:

| Referrals | Total BrokerBucks | Covers Fees On |

|-----------|-------------------|----------------|

| 1 | 💰 25 | \~$167 in sales |

| 3 | 💰 75 | \~$500 in sales |

| 5 | 💰 125 | \~$833 in sales |

| 10 | 💰 250 | \~$1,667 in sales |

💡

BrokerBucks Never Expire: Unlike time-limited rewards, your BrokerBucks stay in your account until you use them. No rush to sell before they expire!

---

## Stacking Rewards

Here's where it gets interesting. BrokerBucks stack.

### Multiple Referrals = Multiple Rewards

Every qualified referral adds 💰 25 to your BrokerBucks balance.

\[Table\]

| Referrals | Total BrokerBucks | Covers Service Fees On |

|-----------|-------------------|------------------------|

| 1 | 💰 25 | \~$167 in sales |

| 3 | 💰 75 | \~$500 in sales |

| 5 | 💰 125 | \~$833 in sales |

| 10 | 💰 250 | \~$1,667 in sales |

| 20 | 💰 500 | \~$3,333 in sales |

### No Limits

There's no cap on how many BrokerBucks you can accumulate. Refer 20 people who complete onboarding and their first transaction? That's 💰 500 in BrokerBucks.

### BrokerBucks Never Expire

Your accumulated BrokerBucks don't expire. If you take a break from selling, your balance waits for you. Start selling again, and they automatically apply to reduce your fees.

## Who to Share With

Not everyone will convert. Focus on people likely to actually sell.

### Friends Already Selling Elsewhere

People currently selling on Kijiji, Facebook Marketplace, or other platforms are ideal. They're already motivated sellers who'd benefit from payment protection and verified delivery.

**Pitch angle:**

"I've been using ShopBroker and it's so much easier than \[other platform\]. No meetups, payment is protected, and they have verified delivery. Try it with my link."

### Family Members Decluttering

Know someone moving? Downsizing? Doing spring cleaning? They have items to sell and motivation to clear them out.

**Pitch angle:**

"You mentioned wanting to clear out the garage. I use ShopBroker for selling stuff—no strangers showing up, everything's handled through the app. Here's my referral link if you want to try it."

### Social Media Followers

If you have any social media presence, even a small one, your followers trust your recommendations.

**Post ideas:**

- Share a successful sale with your link
- Explain why you switched from classifieds
- Post about the safety features
- Share your seller tips with a "join me" CTA

### Local Community Groups

Buy/sell community groups are full of active sellers. Many are frustrated with the current options. Introduce them to something better.

**Important:** Don't spam. Provide value. Share genuinely helpful recommendations, not just links.

💼

Quality Over Quantity: One engaged referral who becomes a regular seller is worth more than ten who sign up and never list anything.

## Plus: Community Stars Bonus

Partners program rewards stack with Community Stars.

### 5 Stars Per Successful Referral

Every qualified referral earns you 5 Community Stars. That's more than a completed sale (3 stars) and helps you climb the monthly leaderboard.

### Referral Strategy for Leaderboard

If you're competing for monthly Community Stars, referrals accelerate your progress. Five successful referrals = 25 stars plus 💰 125 in BrokerBucks. Significant on both fronts.
