Herd
For marketplaces

Both sides
of your marketplace
can grow
the other.

Supply refers supply. Demand refers demand. And the best marketplaces figure out how to let the two sides cross-pollinate. Herd gives you separate reward pools, separate dashboards, and unified reporting.

Fig. — MARKETPLACE
Dual-sided

reward engine — configure supply and demand loops independently

Cross-side

attribution — a buyer can refer a seller, and vice-versa

GMV-based

rewards — pay out on first-order GMV, not sign-up

The problem

Two sides, two playbooks, one dashboard.

01

Different rewards per side.

Supply often needs fixed cash. Demand often responds to credit. You shouldn't have to run two platforms to do that.

02

Protect against wash-trading.

Our fraud engine flags matched referrals between connected parties — addresses, devices, payout accounts. Configurable threshold.

03

GMV-gated payouts.

Reward unlocks only after the referred user hits a configurable GMV floor, so you pay on value, not on vanity sign-ups.

CASE · WILDCRAFT
28%

of new seller sign-ups from peer referrals

Our makers-referring-makers loop now accounts for 28% of new seller sign-ups, and those sellers GMV 2× faster. The cross-side loop — buyers bringing sellers — is the unlock nobody writes essays about.

Patterns that work in marketplaces

Three rewards you can ship
this afternoon.

Option 01
GMV-gated cash

Pays out when the referred account crosses $250 in GMV. Best for high-LTV supply.

Option 02
Platform credit

Best for demand-side. Redeems against any purchase on the marketplace.

Option 03
Fee waiver

Waive the referring seller's take rate on their next N orders. Costs you nothing up front.
