Introduction

CasperVend does not currently support a true partnership option where things are automatically shared, and you cannot share a DropBox (as it will only support sending data about products from the OWNER of the DropBox.) This also means you cannot deed a dropbox to a group (as the group is then considered the "owner" and since the group isn't the entity that made the purchase, it won't send any data at all to the website.)

Available Options

If you wish to engage in a merchant partnership with one or more other individuals, or build on one account and sell on an alt, these options are detailed below.

All options are equally possible with the free or paid versions of CasperVend - so it just depends on the available finances of the merchant partner(s) at the time. The free version will incur a 5% commission across the board (whether used as affiliates or in the shop of the system owner) but the paid versions only incur a 2% commission when used as affiliates (0% commission when used in the shop of the system owner.)

Build On One Avatar, Pass Copy/Transfer Copies To Another (Not Recommended!)


The reason this option is NOT recommended is because you are giving full control of all products which are copiable/transferrable to your partner. Unless you've known your merchant partner for *years*, you will always have the risk that they'll "cut and run" with your products, and never give you the required profit splits.

Build On One Avatar, Pass Vendors To Another


This option allows you to maintain control over your products, while still allowing them to be sold in someone else's store or as part of a partnership.

Customised Vendors


Partner Splits


This method allows each partner to control their own products, without having to give full perm copies to anyone else, or deal with the potential hassle of affiliate vendors. Each partner will need:

  • Their own copy of CasperVend
  • To set up profit sharing appropriately with all partners

Limitations

TOS Of Builder Components


Check the terms for any full-perm components that you are using from another builder. If alts and business partners are not allowed, then the only legal solution is to pick up a another set of CasperVend vendors for the avatar holding all the builder parts.

No Gift Cards


There is no way to pay for gift cards to be purchased on one individual's copy of CasperVend, and be able to use them on another individual's copy of CasperVend. So no, partners cannot use CasperVend gift cards AS part of a partnership.
