How earnings work in Trendweave

How earnings work in Trendweave

Two words show up on every screen in Trendweave: GMV and commission. They're the whole economics of the model — once you can explain them to a friend in a minute, payouts stop feeling like a black box.

GMV — what your link sold

GMV (Gross Merchandise Value) is the total value of orders placed through your tracking link (domain trdwv.com/xxxxx). If a viewer clicked your post and bought a kurti for ₹1,500, your GMV on that order is ₹1,500. Everything else is calculated from GMV.

Commission — your share

Commission is the percentage of GMV that Trendweave pays you. The rate depends on the brand and product category. Open the Brands section — each active retailer is listed with its maximum rate. Some brands break the rate down further by sub-category: with Myntra, for example, Apparel has one rate, FWD another, Personal Care a third. The exact rate per product appears in the product card when you attach it to a post — don't guess, look at the number in the catalog.

How money moves — four statuses

When a viewer places an order, your commission starts at Pending — the brand hasn't yet confirmed the sale. Then it becomes Confirmed, awaiting brand payment (the brand confirmed; we're waiting for the retailer to transfer money to Trendweave). Then Confirmed, available for withdrawal — you can pay it out. There's also Rejected — usually a return or cancellation; that commission doesn't credit. All four statuses live in the Earnings section, split into rows.

What top creators earn

On Trendweave's leaderboard, the most active fashion creators routinely clear ₹2,000–6,000 in daily commission during festive windows — and a single high-performing post can drive multiple of those days in a row. That's the ceiling worth targeting: it's set by real creators, not by marketing math.

Where to see post-by-post

The Statistics section gives a per-post breakdown: clicks, CR, orders, and commission per brand and per post. This is the main place to see what's actually working.

Key takeaway: Commission = GMV × brand/category rate. Not every order becomes cash immediately — wait for the 'available for withdrawal' status, then move it out.

Next step: Open Brands and look at the rate for every active retailer. Pick one whose category fits your audience — that's where your first post will start in Lesson 4.
