Frequently asked questions
These answers describe the KDN+ marketer portal and API behavior in production code: account status, contract gating, referral validation, social claims, fraud checks, and Creator Pool previews on your dashboard. Your signed commission agreement and admin settings always override defaults below.

Getting started
Partners who promote KDN+ and want referral commission on qualifying purchases. Public self-serve signup only works when KDN+ has enabled it on the API (`MARKETER_ALLOW_SELF_SIGNUP=true`). If signup is disabled, the portal returns “Marketer registration is by invitation only” — contact KDN Group for access.
Commission agreement
From the dashboard or Influence page, use “Start commission agreement” (or equivalent). The portal creates a KDN Group contract invitation and sends you to the signing flow on kdngroupllc.com. When signing completes, the system records `commission_contract_signed_at` and sets your marketer status to `active`.
Referral links & checkout
Your dashboard builds KDN+ web links from your referral code, including a short `/r/{code}` URL, signup URL with `?promo=`, and subscription URL with `?promo=`. When a customer uses a valid code, they receive the discount defined by your `discount_bps` and qualifying purchases can earn you commission per your `commission_bps`.
Influence & social claims
A row in `marketer_social_post_claims` for a public post URL you made about KDN+. You submit the URL, a non-negative view count, optional platform (TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, X, or Other), and optional notes. Status starts as `submitted` until an admin approves or rejects it.
Creator Pool & influence score
A half-month period (`H1` / `H2` within a month) where a slice of qualifying new subscription revenue funds a pool. Your dashboard shows the current period key, pool rate in basis points, your influence score, share estimate, and whether figures are projections (`isProjection`) until admins close and approve allocations.
Payouts, tax & integrity
Commission rows track `earned`, `paid`, and `pending` states with timestamps. Payout timing and methods are defined in your signed KDN Group agreement and operational finance process — the portal shows balances but does not replace contract payment terms.
