Keyway

Every referral, commission and payout in one place

Keyway is for companies that sell services through referrers, and for the referrers who bring them customers. Each customer, order, commission line and payout is recorded, so everyone can see where things stand.

There is no public account registration. You need an invitation from your company to get an account.

How it works for referrers

A referrer brings customers to the services a company has published to their workspace.

  1. Accept the terms

    The company publishes plans with their terms. You accept the current terms of a plan before you can share or sell it.

  2. Add a customer or share a link

    Enter a customer yourself, or share a personal link or QR code. Keyway checks for a customer who is already known and records the customer's consent.

  3. Follow each customer

    See where every customer is, from the first contact to an order that is installed.

  4. Confirm your payouts

    When the company records a payout, you confirm that you received it or report a problem.

How it works for companies

A company runs its partner network from one place, with a record of every step.

  • Services and commission rules

    Set up suppliers, plans, terms and commission rules, then publish them to the workspaces you choose.

  • Orders and commission lines

    Follow each order from submission to install. Commission lines are created from the rule that applied when the order was created.

  • Reserve and backcharges

    Part of a commission can be held as a reserve, and a commission paid for a sale that is cancelled can be recovered. Your own rules say how much and for how long.

  • Payouts you can show

    Mark a payout as paid with its bank reference and date. The payee's answer is kept with it.

Payout transparency

A referrer's earnings page splits their commission into four amounts, and shows a backcharge separately.

Received
Payouts you have confirmed.
Paid, to confirm
Payouts the company says it paid and you have not answered yet.
Next payout
Commission that is ready to be paid.
Reserve
Commission held back under the company's rules.
Backcharge
Commission to be recovered, shown with the customer and order it belongs to.

Payouts are made by bank transfer outside Keyway. Keyway never holds or moves money.

Keyway does not state or promise what anyone will earn. What a referrer is paid depends on the company's own plans and terms.

Privacy and consent

How customer details are used and shared is set out in the privacy notice.

Keyway sends a message to a customer only when the customer has a current consent for that channel and purpose. The only exceptions are the single request to confirm consent and the single reply to a STOP or HELP message. An opt-out always wins.
