Referral partners
Refer ecommerce sellers to RyanFulfil and earn on eligible shipped orders.
You make the introduction. RyanFulfil quotes the seller, sources the product, ships the orders and answers the questions. You name the commission you want, and it is included in the quote the seller receives from us.
- Fulfilling from Guangzhou since 2018
- 500+ active client accounts
- 4,000+ orders fulfilled daily
- Ships to 150+ countries
500+ active client accounts and 4,000+ orders fulfilled daily are RyanFulfil's own current operating figures, not audited third-party data. Delivery windows are route-specific estimates, not guarantees.
Who this is for: creators, coaches, consultants and community operators
The referral path suits people who already talk to ecommerce sellers and do not want to run a fulfilment desk. If you want to own the client relationship, set the price and answer the support messages, apply to the Agency Desk instead.
Creators and community operators
You already field the same question: who ships this once the ads work? You introduce the seller, RyanFulfil quotes and ships, and your commission sits inside that quote.
What you do not do: quote products, chase carriers, or sit between the seller and our operations team. You do not carry the delivery estimate either.
Coaches and course owners
Students hit fulfilment the week after their first product sells. A named introduction gets them a real quote from a warehouse that has been shipping since 2018, and pays you on the orders that actually ship.
What you do not do: become their supplier, set their landed cost, or answer for a route estimate. RyanFulfil answers to the seller for that.
Consultants and existing clients
If you already advise operators shipping from China, or you ship with us yourself, an introduction you register is protected once we confirm in writing that it is new.
What you do not get: territory or category exclusivity, and no claim over a seller already trading with RyanFulfil or already in conversation with us.
How the commission works
You set the number. RyanFulfil quotes its net fulfilment cost for the product, route and assumptions, adds your commission, and issues that quote to the seller with the partner fee disclosed. The seller is never surprised by it, and you are never accused of a hidden markup on a client you do not own.
- You introduce the seller and register the introduction Create the WhatsApp record before or at the first contact: send us a complete registration, create a group containing you, the seller and RyanFulfil, or ask the seller to name you in their first message to us. RyanFulfil still checks and accepts the attribution in writing. You
- RyanFulfil confirms the introduction is new We check the name and the domains against current clients and open conversations, then reply in writing. Only a confirmed introduction is protected. RyanFulfil
- You name your commission, and it goes into the quote Guidance is around 2%, the level that keeps the seller's landed cost competitive against buying the same product direct from AliExpress. Set it higher if you are confident the seller will stay, remembering the higher figure is carried by the seller: you are choosing between your margin and their price. There is no floor and no ceiling on the rate: the commission you name is the commission paid, calculated on what RyanFulfil actually receives for the eligible order. You and RyanFulfil
- The seller accepts and starts shipping One all-in price per unit for that product and destination, with the quote stating that a partner fee is included. The seller contracts with RyanFulfil, pays RyanFulfil, and deals with our operations team on sourcing, packing, tracking and claims. Seller
- Commission accrues on eligible shipped orders The event is a shipped, paid order for that seller. Not a signup, not a quote, not an order that was cancelled or refunded. The exclusions are listed below, and the partner agreement sets out the same exclusions in its own wording. RyanFulfil
- You are paid on the agreed cycle Referral commission is counted monthly and paid within 7 days of the following month. refunds are netted from the payout, with no minimum payout threshold. There is no joining fee, no monthly programme fee and no minimum order commitment on this path. RyanFulfil
RyanFulfil owns the client, so the fee is disclosed. That is the whole trade: you give up the client relationship, and in exchange you earn a fee nobody has to hide.
What counts, and what does not
Commission is calculated on one defined event: an eligible shipped order for a seller you introduced. Both columns are the plain-English version of what the partner agreement sets out; the agreement uses its own wording and it is the one that binds.
Commission is calculated on
Orders that shipped, were paid for, and belong to a confirmed introduction.
- Shipped orders for a seller whose introduction RyanFulfil confirmed as new.
- Orders the seller has actually paid for.An invoiced but unpaid order accrues nothing until it is settled.
- The quoted fulfilment value of the order.Product, shipping and handling, as quoted for that product and route.
- Orders shipped inside the protection period stated in your partner agreement.The window is written down when the introduction is confirmed, not decided afterwards.
- Orders from a referred seller who pauses and comes back inside that same window.
Commission is never calculated on
These are excluded outright. Some are reversed after the fact, when an order that already accrued is later refunded.
- Cancelled orders.
- Refunded orders.Commission already accrued is reversed on the next statement.
- Orders identified as fraudulent.
- Internal or test orders.
- Self-referrals.Your own stores, or an entity you control.
- Orders for prohibited products.
- Unpaid orders.
- Taxes, duties and pass-through surcharges.Commission is never a percentage of those, on any route.
- Unrelated project invoices.Sourcing research, sampling, product photography or any separately scoped job sits outside the commission base unless your agreement says otherwise.
Registering an introduction
There is no referral link, tracking cookie or partner dashboard. WhatsApp provides three practical attribution records, followed by RyanFulfil's written acceptance and periodic statements.
How the current operating record works
The partner may send a registration, create a WhatsApp group with the lead and RyanFulfil, or ensure the lead names the referring person or business in their first message. We check whether the seller is new and reply with the accepted seller/store, registered partner and acceptance date. That written reply completes the attribution record.
This is the current operating model, not a portal waiting list. If a later tool makes the same record clearer without exposing seller or end-customer data, we will document the change before using it.
Partner registers directly
Use the prepared WhatsApp registration message below. Use one seller and one main store per message.
Partner creates the group
Create a WhatsApp group containing you, the seller and RyanFulfil. State clearly that the seller is your introduction so the attribution is visible before quoting begins.
Lead cites the referrer
The seller names the person or business that referred them in their first WhatsApp message to RyanFulfil. A later citation cannot turn an existing direct lead into a referral.
Reporting
You receive a periodic statement, per referred seller. It is a document, not a login. There is no dashboard, no live order feed and no view into the seller's store or their customer data.
- Eligible shipped ordersCounted per referred seller, for the period covered.
- Reversals appliedRefunds and cancellations that removed commission already accrued.
- The commission rateThe rate you named and we quoted, shown as it was applied.
- The period coveredThe dates the statement runs from and to, so consecutive statements reconcile.
- Payout currency and any agreed FX chargeUSD, EUR and GBP are supported payout currencies. other payout currencies may be possible subject to an agreed FX charge.
- Source recordsThe statement can be checked against the RyanFulfil invoice or working Excel/Google Sheet and the corresponding shipping records.
Check a referral statement privately
Use the browser-only worksheet to recalculate one seller and period, compare the issued net and export a local reconciliation record. It sends no figures to RyanFulfil and does not treat “calculated”, “statement received”, “marked paid” or “confirmed received” as the same status.
No public partner directory, client list or compulsory reference programme.
Dropshipping sellers and white-label agencies often depend on discretion. RyanFulfil does not require a public review, client logo, store name, testimonial or reference call as the price of working together.
Refer is transparent to the seller
The referred seller contracts with RyanFulfil and their quote discloses that a partner fee is included. That commercial disclosure does not create permission to publish the seller, store or partner.
White label stays partner-fronted
On Co-Manage and White Label, operational communication runs through the agency. Any unavoidable carrier, bank, customs or legal visibility is checked separately before the agency promises what its client will see.
Evidence stays privacy-limited
Public proof uses aggregate metrics and anonymised operating situations. Private store, product, customer, pricing and payout records stay out of public marketing.
How you may promote it
Your audience will read your claim as RyanFulfil's claim. The first column is yours to use today. The second column ends a partner agreement.
Allowed
- Promoting to your own audience. Your list, your group, your channel, your students, your existing clients.
- Describing the service accurately. Sourcing from factories in China, inspection, packing, and shipping from a Guangzhou warehouse to 150+ countries. How a tracking number reaches the seller depends on their platform, so describe it the way the next line does rather than promising one on every order.
- Naming what the integrations actually do. Shopify and WooCommerce connect two ways, so orders pull in and tracking uploads back. For TikTok Shop, eBay and Etsy, tracking numbers are sent to the seller to update manually.
- Publishing your own voluntary experience without identifying a seller, store or end customer. Public reviews and reference calls are never required. Disclose that you are paid for the introduction wherever the platform or the law requires it.
- Sending people to ryanfulfil.com and letting us quote. The quote is where numbers get committed. Do not commit them on our behalf.
Not allowed
- Income claims. No earnings figures, no projected returns, no suggestion that referral income arrives without work.
- Delivery guarantees. Delivery windows are route-specific estimates. Presenting them as promises creates a claim RyanFulfil never made.
- Paid search on RyanFulfil brand terms. No bidding on our name or close variants, and no domains, handles or ad copy that read as ours.
- Claiming to own the warehouse. You may say fulfilment is operated through your China supply-chain team or network. You may not claim to own facilities, carriers or customs capability.
- Presenting yourself as RyanFulfil. Not our staff, not our support desk, and not authorised to price, sign or promise on our behalf.
- Spam. Unsolicited bulk email, mass direct messages, comment spam or scraped lists. This ends the agreement on the first confirmed instance.
If the partner registers directly, use one structured WhatsApp message
This is one of the three accepted introduction routes. A partner-created group or the lead naming the referrer in their first message also creates a record, but no route is protected until RyanFulfil replies with an explicit acceptance.
- Send one complete registrationUse the prepared message below. Name one seller and one main store URL per message so the written record cannot be confused with another introduction.
- RyanFulfil checks the sellerWe check existing clients, open conversations, earlier accepted registrations, self-referral and whether the seller is genuinely new.
- Wait for the word “Accepted”A submitted message is not protected. Our reply states Accepted, the seller/store, the registered partner and the acceptance date. A rejection states the reason category.
- Keep the same WhatsApp threadThe registration and acceptance remain the audit record for attribution, monthly reconciliation and any later dispute.
What the registration includes
Partner: your name or business.
Seller: business or trading name and main store URL.
Commercial: primary market and requested commission.
Declarations: the seller agreed to the introduction, and it is not your own or a controlled store.
What not to send at registration
Do not send identity documents, customer lists, order exports, payment records or end-customer personal data. Registration needs enough information to identify one seller, not their operating database.
If accepted, share contact details and quoting information in the same partner conversation only when needed.
Prohibited products and claims
A referred seller is quoted, contracted and supported by RyanFulfil, so our sourcing boundaries become yours the moment you make the introduction. Orders for products we do not fulfil never become eligible orders.
Products we refuse or review
We do not source counterfeit or trademark-infringing products. Regulated categories, including supplements, peptides and vape products, are checked case by case before we quote.
If you are unsure whether a category is accepted, ask before you introduce the seller. It is a two-minute question and it saves an introduction.
Where the binding rules live
This page is a plain-English summary. The commission definition, the exclusions, the attribution window, the promotion rules and the termination terms are set out in the partner documents.
Read the partner agreement you sign and the approved-claims list. Where this page and the signed partner agreement differ, the agreement applies.
Duplicate and existing-lead rules
Short, and applied the same way every time.
- First verifiable introduction accepted on WhatsApp winsNot the first later claim. the first verifiable introduction recorded and accepted by RyanFulfil on WhatsApp wins.
- Existing clients and open leads are excludedA seller already trading with RyanFulfil, or already in an open conversation with us, stays direct. Introducing them creates no commission.
- One seller, one introductionA second store, brand or trading name belonging to the same seller or the same owner does not create a second referral.
- Registrations lapseA confirmed introduction that produces no meaningful activity within the period in your agreement expires, and the seller returns to open.
- Self-referral voids commissionYour own stores, an entity you control, or a seller you also invoice for the same orders.
- Disputes are decided on the written recordThe registration, partner-created group or lead's first-contact citation, plus our written acceptance. No retroactive claims.
Referral programme FAQ
The questions partners ask before they send the first introduction.
What this programme is
Is this a dropshipping affiliate programme?
In substance, yes: you introduce a seller, and you earn on what that seller ships. It does not work like the affiliate schemes most people have seen, and the differences are the point.
There is no tracking link and no cookie window. Attribution is recorded on WhatsApp: the partner registers the seller, creates a group with the seller and RyanFulfil, or the seller names the referrer in their first message. It is protected only once RyanFulfil confirms in writing that the seller is new. The event that pays is an eligible shipped, paid order — not a click, signup or quote that went nowhere.
You also name the rate rather than accepting a published one, with guidance around 2%. And it is disclosed. RyanFulfil contracts with the seller, invoices the seller, supports the seller and sets the seller's price, and the quote that seller receives states that a partner fee is included. Your fee is a line the seller can read, not a margin nobody mentions.
Can I refer sellers and also run my own clients?
Yes. The path is chosen per client, not per partner. A seller you introduce and hand over sits on Refer, where RyanFulfil contracts with, invoices, supports and prices that seller, and your commission is disclosed inside their quote. A client you want to contract with, price and support yourself sits on Co-Manage or White Label, where you invoice your client and RyanFulfil invoices you.
Say which you want on the application — it asks — or afterwards on the partner channel, and each client is set up on the path that matches how you actually work with them. The four paths are compared on the Agency Desk page.
Commission and payment
How does referral commission work?
You name your commission and RyanFulfil includes it in the quote it issues to the seller you introduced. Commission accrues on each paid and shipped order and is calculated on the quoted fulfilment value, excluding taxes, duties and pass-through surcharges. Because RyanFulfil contracts and bills the seller, the quote states that a partner fee is included.
Guidance is around 2%, the level that keeps the seller's landed cost competitive against buying the same product direct from AliExpress. You can set it higher, but the seller carries that figure in their unit price.
How much can I earn referring dropshippers?
There is no figure we can honestly print here, and any number quoted for a programme like this is somebody else's arithmetic on somebody else's client. Three things set what you earn, and we control none of them.
The first is how many orders the seller actually ships each month, which comes from their product and their traffic rather than from the introduction. The second is the rate you name. The third is whether they stay — and a higher rate works against that, because the seller carries your fee inside their unit price, and their landed cost still has to stand up against buying the same product direct.
Run it on real numbers rather than an average. The agency margin calculator works out what a seller shipping a given volume comes to per order and per month, and shows its working. It is arithmetic on figures you type, not a forecast, and it is only as good as the net cost you put into it.
When do referral payouts occur?
Referral commission is counted monthly and paid within 7 days of the following month. refunds are netted from the payout, and there is no minimum payout threshold. If a refund is recorded after payout, refunds recorded after payout are deducted from the next monthly payout.
USD, EUR and GBP are supported payout currencies. other payout currencies may be possible subject to an agreed FX charge, confirmed before payout.
Every payout comes with a statement showing eligible shipped orders, reversals applied, the rate, payout currency, any agreed FX charge and the period covered.
How are duplicate introductions handled?
the first verifiable introduction recorded and accepted by RyanFulfil on WhatsApp wins. The record may be a complete partner registration, a partner-created WhatsApp group or the lead naming the referrer in their first message. A seller already trading with us, or already in an open conversation with us, is excluded.
Who owns what
Who owns the client?
RyanFulfil. On the referral path the seller you introduce is RyanFulfil's client. We sign, we invoice, we support and we set the price. You earn on eligible shipped orders. If you want to own the client, apply for the Agency Desk instead, where the agency contracts and prices its own client.
Who signs the client contract?
RyanFulfil signs with the seller. You sign a partner agreement with RyanFulfil, not with the seller, and you are not a party to the seller's fulfilment agreement.
Who invoices the client?
RyanFulfil invoices the seller directly, and RyanFulfil pays you. You do not invoice the referred seller for fulfilment and you do not collect their payments.
Can RyanFulfil contact my client directly?
Yes, and it should. On the referral path the seller is our client, so we speak to them directly about quotes, orders, tracking and claims. That is the design of this path, not an exception to it. Restricted direct contact belongs to the white-label path, where the agency owns the client and operational contact runs through the agency.
Joining and moving between paths
Can a new agency with no clients apply?
Yes. Referral is the path that does not require an existing client base, because you are introducing sellers rather than taking on their fulfilment. The Agency Desk paths expect existing clients, and founding-pilot terms there are confirmed only after a fit assessment.
Can I upgrade to Agency Desk later?
Yes. Apply through the same application and say what changed. Moving an existing referred seller onto an agency contract is a separate conversation: that seller has an agreement with RyanFulfil, and it would have to end and be replaced by an agreement with you. We will not move a client without them knowing, so nothing changes unless the seller agrees to it.
