Partner shops: booking divers with another Seascape shop

Partner shops lets two Seascape shops book divers onto each other's trips, for a commission you agree. Both shops have to say yes, and the diver agrees before anything about them is shared. It is in Settings → Partner shops. The Super Admin and Admins link partners and agree the terms; anyone who can see your financials can read the statements.

Linking with a partner:

• Switch on Let other Seascape shops find your shop and invite it. Only shops that have it on can find each other. Turning it off stops sending divers both ways at once; your partners stay linked, and it all resumes when you turn it back on.
• Press Invite a partner shop, search for the shop by name, and check its booking page address is the shop you mean.
• Set You earn (when you send them a diver) and They earn (when they send you a diver), between 0 and 50%. Choose what happens when they send you a diver: Book them straight in, or Let me review each one first.
• Press Send invitation. They get an email, and accept or decline in their own Settings.

An invitation to you shows Review: check the terms and press Accept, or Not now; Decline turns it down. Once you are linked, Edit terms proposes new commission, and the current terms keep working until the other shop accepts. Unlink ends it; bookings already made are not affected. Hold a seat for a partner's diver sets how long a seat is held for their divers while the diver decides. It is your setting, the same for every partner.

Booking a diver with a partner: open the client's page and press Book with a partner shop…. It shows when partner shops are on, for anyone who can make bookings. Choose the Partner and the Trip; the window shows what the partner will see about the diver and what is never shared. Sending holds a seat for the partner's hold time and emails the diver to agree, or, if the partner reviews each diver, sends it to them first. The client needs an email address.

Following the diver: the booking stays on the client's page with where it stands, such as Waiting for the partner, Waiting for the diver, Diver agreed, Booked, Trip done or Seat released. While it waits for the diver, Resend consent request sends them a new link. Once the diver agrees you see the partner's Booking ID, whether it is Confirmed, the Deposit paid and the Waiver signed, and the commission. Only the partner can change or cancel their booking, and the page says how to reach them.

When a partner sends you a diver, a notice appears above your Reservations: Accept or Decline if you review each one, and New from a partner once a diver has agreed, with what was shared about them. Your waiver and deposit request go to the diver automatically.

The monthly statement: Partner statements shows the commission between you and each partner by the month the trips ran, who owes whom, and the net. Commission is earned after the dive, on the price after any discount and before tax, and a booking cancelled or refunded in full pays nothing. No money moves through Seascape: the two shops settle between themselves, and a Super Admin or Admin at either shop presses Mark settled for that month, which both see. Download CSV downloads the month. Early each month Seascape also emails each shop last month's statement, with the CSV, unless you switched off Email me a statement for each payout in Settings → Payouts.
