A Damietta vendor claims the customer damaged the furniture after delivery — how do I rule?
Collect delivery photos from the shipper, packing photos from the vendor, and the customer's return reason. Compare the delivered item to the approved listing in Catalog → Products.
If the product matched the listing and shipper delivery notes confirm good condition at handover, the customer may bear more return cost. If materials differ from the listing, the vendor bears more.
Document your ruling in the order notes so payroll adjustments are clear. Referral Partners should be copied on the decision for their records.
Repeated quality disputes from the same workshop may require a territory review of their product approval history and verification status.
A return reduced my franchise commission but the Referral share was not adjusted — what do I do?
Returns and partial refunds automatically adjust payroll records for all parties — vendor, Referral, Franchise, and shipper — based on return cost allocation rules.
Open the payroll entry linked to the returned order and compare original and adjusted amounts. Each line should reflect the post-return totals.
If amounts look incorrect, gather the order number, return reason, and cost allocation notes. Contact platform support for a payroll audit.
Prevent disputes by setting clear commission rates for Referral Partners in Cairo and Giza before large seasonal campaigns.
How do I review and decide return cost allocation for a disputed Alexandria order?
When a return dispute escalates beyond the Referral Partner, you review evidence from the vendor, shipper, and customer. Open the order in Orders and read all notes and photos.
Assign cost shares based on responsibility — listing inaccuracy falls on the vendor and possibly Referral if they approved a flawed listing. Transport damage falls primarily on the shipper.
Your decision adjusts payroll records for vendor dues, Referral commission, Franchise commission, and shipper fees. All parties receive notification.
Fair and fast decisions protect territory reputation. Delayed return resolution hurts repeat buyers in coastal governorates.
Multiple Cairo orders are delayed by the same shipper — what authority do I have?
As Franchise Operator you oversee logistics quality in your territory. Pull the delayed orders from Orders and contact the shipping company with order numbers and promised pickup dates.
Check whether shippers entered tracking numbers and shipping fee notes. Orders cannot move to shipped status without them — missing data often causes apparent delays.
Document repeated failures in your territory notes. Platform administrators use this feedback when renewing shipper contracts for Damietta-to-Cairo corridors.
Notify affected customers through the Referral Partner and vendor — coordinated communication reduces cancellation rates on high-value furniture orders.
How are franchise and referral commissions calculated on orders in my territory?
When a downline vendor order is fully delivered, Easy Furniture calculates commissions for the Referral Partner and Franchise Operator based on agreed rates. Vendor dues are recorded separately.
All commission amounts enter a 14-day pending period before becoming available for withdrawal. This aligns with the customer return window across Egypt.
Split orders calculate commissions on each child order independently. A cart with Damietta and Alexandria vendors produces two payroll records.
Review payroll summaries in Admin to audit Referral commission rates and ensure they match your territory agreements before peak season.
How do I monitor shipping performance across Damietta and Giza hubs in my territory?
Use Orders filtered by shipping status to see which orders are processing, shipped, partially shipped, or delivered across your territory.
Multi-vendor orders show partial progress until every hub completes its shipment. A Damietta table may be delivered while Giza chairs are still in transit — the parent order reflects combined status.
Review shipper notes and tracking numbers on delayed routes. Shippers must record tracking and initial shipping fees before updating status.
Share weekly summaries with Referral Partners so they can push slow vendors and shippers before customers complain.
An order in my territory has been stuck for two weeks — how do I escalate?
Open the order in Orders and review its full history — payment status, vendor notes, and shipping updates. Identify whether the delay is from the workshop, payment, or shipping partner.
Contact the vendor and Referral Partner directly with the order number. Most delays in Alexandria and Damietta routes come from production backlog or missed shipper pickup.
If the shipping company is responsible, follow up using the tracking information on the shipment record. Shippers must enter tracking numbers before marking orders as shipped.
For payment disputes or customer complaints that cannot be resolved at Referral level, contact platform support with the order number and your territory notes.
Who gets notified when a new order is placed in my franchise downline?
When a customer order is placed, Easy Furniture notifies the vendor, their Referral Partner, and you as the Franchise Operator. Each party sees the orders assigned to their role.
Open Orders to monitor all downline activity across Damietta workshops, Cairo showrooms, and Giza factories in your territory. You have broader visibility than individual Referral Partners.
For multi-vendor checkouts, notifications fire on each split child order. Track them separately — one vendor may ship while another is still preparing.
Use order notifications to spot slow fulfillment early and support Referral Partners before customers escalate complaints.
A listing reached my queue after Referral approval — how do I publish it?
Open Product Approve Request in Admin. Listings waiting for your decision already passed Referral review and include their notes.
Check product photos, pricing, materials, and dimensions against marketplace standards for your territory. Accept to publish the product live on the Easy Furniture storefront.
Verified vendors in your downline may receive better search placement after publishing. Encourage Damietta and Cairo workshops to complete verification before peak selling seasons.
Your approval is the final gate before shoppers see the listing. Allow one business day for review during high-volume recruitment periods.
A Referral-approved listing has inflated pricing for an Alexandria bedroom set — can I reject it?
Yes. As Franchise Operator you have final authority. Reject with notes explaining the issue — unrealistic pricing, missing safety information, or photos that do not match the described materials.
The vendor receives an email and can edit the product to address your notes. The listing stays hidden until resubmitted and approved again through the full chain.
Franchise rejection is separate from Referral rejection. Your notes are recorded for territory audit and help Referral Partners improve their first-pass reviews.
Consistent quality control across your network protects buyer trust and reduces returns from disappointed customers in Cairo and coastal governorates.
