When a cause signs up using a referral link that is associated to your cause, easyfundraising will pay your cause 20% of the donations that are raised by the a cause as a thank you to you for recommending that they sign up to raise funds with us.
We pay this 20% and it doesn't affect how much is received by the cause that has been referred.
These donations show in your cause transactions as Referrals, you will be able to filter the list of transactions to on;y view (or not view these) very soon. Here is an example of how they will look:
Because a referral donation is a % of a donation from a retailer, it's shown to an extra decimal place, then when we create a statement for payments we will add up all the referral transactions that are due and then round them up to a whole penny to be paid to the cause.
