Broker Workflow

This page explains the standard broker workflow inside WeList, from listing creation to payout.

The goal is to make the operational flow clear: the broker creates the listing, WeList broadcasts it, the broker fulfills confirmed sales, and payout follows the applicable weekly policy.


Standard workflow

Create listing

Broadcast to marketplaces

Sale is confirmed

Stock is automatically updated

Broker delivers tickets

Delivery is confirmed

Transaction enters payout cycle

Broker receives payout

Broker responsibilities

WeList automates distribution and stock synchronization, but the broker remains responsible for the accuracy and fulfillment of each listing.

Brokers should make sure that:

  • Listing details are accurate before publishing
  • Quantity and ticket information are correct
  • Pricing is reviewed before distribution
  • Sale notification emails are checked promptly
  • Tickets are delivered according to order requirements
  • Payout settings are complete and accurate

What brokers need to do

During a confirmed sale, brokers should:

  • Review the sale email
  • Check the quantity sold and delivery instructions
  • Deliver the tickets within the required timeline
  • Confirm any required delivery steps
  • Monitor the transaction until payout is completed

If the seller does not fulfill an order

Once a sale is confirmed, the broker is responsible for fulfilling the order according to the marketplace requirements.

If the seller does not deliver the tickets, delivers them incorrectly, or fails to complete the order within the required timeline, the transaction may be subject to a marketplace penalty.

Penalty amounts depend on the marketplace where the sale happened:

MarketplaceNon-fulfillment penalty
SeatGeek200% of the sale price
VividSeats200% of the sale price
HelloTickets150% of the sale price
Ticombo150% of the sale price

Example

If a seller confirms a sale for $500 and does not fulfill the order:

MarketplacePenalty calculationPenalty amount
SeatGeek$500 × 200%$1,000
VividSeats$500 × 200%$1,000
HelloTickets$500 × 150%$750
Ticombo$500 × 150%$750

These penalties are separate from the lost sale and may be applied according to the marketplace rules and the specific circumstances of the failed fulfillment.
