On UM Social, an Agent introduces Followers through a Provider’s Join Link, while a Partner receives a share of performance fees across the Provider’s entire offer. The Provider sets the applicable sharing percentages.
How do their roles differ?
The two roles have different fee-sharing scopes:
| Role | Role and fee scope |
|---|---|
| Agent | Shares the Provider’s Join Link and earns fees associated with Followers introduced through that link. |
| Partner | Receives a percentage of performance fees across the Provider’s entire offer. |
Are these fees charged separately to Followers?
No. Agent and Partner fees are deducted from the Provider’s collected fees, rather than charged separately to Followers.
Depending on the Provider’s settings, fee sharing may apply to performance, management or registration fees.
Example of fee distribution
Assume a USD 10 Performance Fee, an Agent Fee of 20% and a Partner Fee of 10%:
| Recipient | Calculation | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Agent | USD 10 × 20% | USD 2 |
| Partner | USD 10 × 10% | USD 1 |
| Provider | USD 10 − USD 2 − USD 1 | USD 7 |
The Follower pays USD 10 in total, with no additional Agent or Partner charge.
