Agent-led social-commerce economics

Merchant supply, agent trust and buyer fulfilment have to work in the same transaction.

Agent-led commerce adds a human distribution layer to a marketplace. That layer can expand reach, but it also adds commission, attribution and trust obligations.

Measure active merchant-agent pairs, completed attributable orders, repeat purchase and payout accuracy. Registrations and downloads are only early funnel signals.

Every party should be able to see why an order was attributed and how a payout was calculated.
