Inviting people to the platform now pays. Refer & Earn has always tracked who joined through your link; it can now reward you for it, in platform credit, once the person you invited starts actually transacting. Alongside it: sixty-seven notifications that opened the wrong page (or no page at all) now land on the item they are about, and a batch of interface fixes reported from alpha.
Refer & Earn now pays
Share your invite link, and when someone who joins through it makes their first booking, you earn credit in your wallet.
Deliberately on their first booking rather than on signing up. A signup is free and easy to fake; a booking is the point at which somebody has genuinely joined the market. It counts either way round, too — inviting a creator who goes on to earn rewards you exactly as much as inviting a brand who spends.
The page tells you the rule, and lets you share
The reward is stated on the page in a sentence, rather than implied by the word "Earn". If the programme is paused, it says that too, and stops showing you reward columns that could only ever read zero.
You can also finally share the invite rather than only copy it — WhatsApp, email and X, with the reward already written into the message.
Two stages, because your reward should not depend on a booking that gets refunded
A referral goes Qualified when the person you invited funds their first booking, then Rewarded when that booking reaches the point where the money can no longer be returned. Each row tells you where it stands and what it was worth.
That gap is on purpose. Paying the moment somebody clicks "pay" would mean paying out for bookings that are later refunded.
A wallet everyone can see
Credit lands in your wallet, and there is now a Wallet tab under Billing for every kind of account. Before this the wallet was only reachable from the advertiser side, so a creator or vendor could have been holding credit with nowhere to see it.
Notifications now open the thing they are about
Twelve kinds of in-app notification pointed at pages that do not exist — a vendor's deliverable, a brief submission, an invoice, a fraud review and others. Each looked like an ordinary link right up to the click, and when a link 404s you cannot tell a broken link from work that was deleted, so the whole thing read as lost data.
Every one now opens the right screen. Some improvements are subtler but just as annoying in daily use: nine vendor notifications about one specific job used to drop you on a board with every job on it, and now open that job; and "N new messages" on a booking now opens the booking with the conversation already open.
Sixty-seven notifications already in people's inboxes have been repointed, because a notification is stored text — fixing where new ones go would have left every old one broken.
Also fixed
- "All Clients" was cut off in the client picker at the top of the screen. The label was being
clipped through its baseline, so the text looked sheared in half.
- The Target Locations field showed a dropdown arrow that opened nothing. It is a tag field —
you type and press Enter — so the arrow is gone and the suggestions stay.
- A listing's status badge overlapped its channel name on marketplace cards, worse the narrower
the window. The card was rearranged so nothing shares space with anything.
- The home page banner jumped every time it looped, instead of scrolling seamlessly.
- Two lightning bolts in the Last Minute Deals heading are now one.
- Adding funds to a wallet used to fail with no explanation — a browser error page and nothing
else. It now tells you plainly that top-up is not available on this environment, which is the truth. Wallet top-up remains switched off pending a payment-gateway decision.
