Promoters
Grow ticket sales through referral-based promotion. Promoters share unique links, and you track every sale they drive.
Overview
The promoter system lets you:
- Invite promoters via email with unique referral codes
- Accept promotion requests from users who want to promote your event
- Track performance — registrations, tickets sold, and revenue per promoter
- Manage trusted promoters across your organisation for repeat events
- Track commissions for promoters (payouts managed outside Delvent)
Inviting Promoters
By Email
- Go to your event dashboard → Promoters tab
- Click Invite Promoter
- Enter their email address and optionally set a custom referral code
- They receive an email with a link to accept the invite (expires in 7 days)
Once accepted, the promoter is active and can start sharing their referral link.
Promotion Requests
Users can also request to promote your event. When a request comes in:
- Go to Promoters on your event dashboard
- Filter by Pending Requests
- Approve or Reject each request
Trusted promoters (see below) are automatically approved, even if your event requires manual approval.
How Referral Codes Work
Each promoter gets a unique referral code (defaults to their username, or a custom code you set). This code is embedded in their shareable link:
https://delvent.io/events/your-event?ref=CODE
When an attendee clicks this link:
- The code is stored automatically
- When they register, the code is included in their order
- The sale is attributed to the promoter
Referral codes are attribution only — they don't automatically apply a discount. Use Discount Codes separately if you want to offer promoter-specific discounts.
Tracking Performance
Each promoter has stats showing:
| Metric | Description |
|---|---|
| Registrations | Number of orders placed with their code |
| Tickets Sold | Total tickets across all their referred orders |
| Revenue | Total sales value from their referrals |
To view stats:
- Go to your event dashboard → Promoters
- Click on a promoter to see their performance
Commissions
You can configure commissions per promoter:
| Type | How It Works |
|---|---|
| None | No commission tracked (default) |
| Percentage | Percentage of order total (e.g., 5%) |
| Fixed | Fixed amount per order |
Commissions are recorded per order when payment completes. Delvent tracks the amounts but does not handle payouts — you manage payments to promoters directly.
