17.5 Suspend, reinstate or end a partnership

TroveUniverse screenshot: Suspend: the reason is required. Numbered orange markers point to the items described in the steps.
Figure 17.5 — Suspend: the reason is required

Why

A suspended partner earns no commission on payments received while suspended; commission already earned and the attributions are kept, and the partner can still open client apps. Reinstate starts commission again from that day. End partnership is final: no further commission, no Open, but the history stays visible to the partner. The partner is emailed each time.

Who

TroveUniverse staff with the Manage partners permission (in the illustration, Kelechi Uzor, Partner Programme role).

What to do

  1. Give the reason (1) and choose Suspend (2).

TroveUniverse screenshot: Override for Marcia Greenidge: an agreed rate of 2.25%. Numbered orange markers point to the items described in the steps.
Figure 17.6 — Override for Marcia Greenidge: an agreed rate of 2.25%

Why

An override replaces the reviewed tier (1) or the rate (2), or both, until you remove it. The reason (3) is kept in the audit log and the tier history. The partner is not emailed about overrides.

Who

TroveUniverse staff with the Manage partners permission (in the illustration, Kelechi Uzor, Partner Programme role).

What to do

  1. Choose Override tier or rate.
  2. Choose a tier or enter a rate, give the reason and choose Save override. Leave both empty to remove an override.
