Partner growth

Referral Network & Tracking Systems

Stronger than a static referral page — partner codes, QR brochures, tracked landing paths, attribution dashboards, and payout visibility with Stripe webhook settlement.

Partner attribution that scales trust

Referral partners send work through brochures, word of mouth, and complementary trades — but generic analytics cannot tell you which partner earned credit. Disputes slow network growth when payout status lives in spreadsheets.

The referral infrastructure uses /ref/:partner entry paths, QR brochure assets, Neon Postgres event logging, referral-dashboard partner visibility, and Stripe webhook-driven payout settlement.

Knight Command embeds referral ops on the 5050 family inside the Referrals tab — partners self-serve status checks instead of email disputes with ownership.

The problem

Partner referrals are impossible to attribute fairly

Brochure QR scans, word-of-mouth, and form fills all look the same in analytics. Partners dispute who sent the lead. Payout status lives in spreadsheets.

  • No unique path per partner or trade lane
  • Consult forms do not carry referral codes reliably
  • Payout earned vs paid is unclear to partners
  • Scaling a local trade network without attribution breaks trust

Common questions

How do partners check their referrals?

Partners use /referral-dashboard for lead status, attribution, and payout progress tied to their code or QR path.

What counts as a attributed lead?

Rules are documented upfront — typically tracked form submits or booked consults within the agreed window from /ref/:partner entry.

Can this work without Stripe payouts?

Yes — attribution and dashboard visibility can launch first; Stripe webhook payouts add automated settlement when you are ready.
