A worked example
A Growth provider accepts an inquiry from a buyer and signs a one-year licence worth $40,000. Here is the whole bill.
At the 20% tier common on other lead-generation marketplaces, the same deal would cost $8,000 in commission.
| One-year contract with the buyer | $40,000 |
|---|---|
| Commission at 12% (Growth new-deal rate) | $4,800 |
| Renewal in year two, within 24 months, at 6% | $2,400 |
| Renewal starting more than 24 months after the first deal | No commission |
| You keep from the first year | $35,200 |
If you offer a 'buy via DataStoa' discount, commission is calculated on the discounted value. Taxes extra where they apply.
How attribution works
Commission depends on knowing which deals started here. The rules are short, both sides see the evidence, and disputes go to a person, not an algorithm.
- 1
A buyer reaches you here
You accept their inquiry, they view your proposal, or they message you. The 12-month attribution window starts, and both of you can see it.
- 2
You win the deal and register it
Within 14 days of signing, record the value, term and billing schedule. The commission preview shows before you submit.
- 3
The buyer confirms
The buyer is asked to confirm. No answer in 14 days counts as seller-reported. A 'not correct' opens a short query, never an automatic charge.
- 4
One invoice a month
Commission accrues on the dates you invoice the buyer. We send one statement and invoice on the first working day of the month, payable in 30 days.
The window is 12 months from the latest attributable interaction. Pre-existing customers from the previous 24 months are exempt.
