Add coproducers and revenue split safely
Coproducers are partners connected to a product. Use them when another person or business helps create, deliver, operate, or promote the product and needs a clear revenue relationship.
What coproducers affect
| Area | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Product ownership | Clarifies who participates in the product relationship. |
| Revenue split | Defines how revenue should be divided when a sale happens. |
| Reporting | Helps teams understand partner participation in product performance. |
| Support workflow | Makes it easier to explain who is responsible for delivery or buyer issues. |
When to add a coproducer
| Add a coproducer when | Avoid adding one when |
|---|---|
| The partner contributes to the product or delivery. | The person only needs temporary team access. |
| Revenue should be shared according to a product agreement. | The person only promotes as an affiliate. |
| The relationship is long-term enough to track formally. | The relationship can be handled outside product setup. |

FAQ
Is a coproducer the same as an affiliate?
No. A coproducer is tied to product partnership or revenue sharing. An affiliate promotes the product and receives attribution or commission through affiliate links.
Should support users be added as coproducers?
Usually no. Support users should normally be invited through team roles and product access, not added as product revenue partners.
What should I check before changing a revenue split?
Review partner agreements, active sales flows, reports, payouts, affiliates, and support expectations before changing the split.
