Understanding seller tiers and bonuses
How the seller tier ladder works, what each tier changes, and how to climb it — bonuses, notification waves and alert caps.
Your seller tier is the single lever that shapes your experience on GoFindPart. It is driven by your Priority Score. The full, authoritative ladder — every band and threshold — lives on the delivery bonuses page; this guide explains what the tiers actually change and how to climb.
The levers a tier moves
- Bonus. A percentage paid on top of your quoted part price, on every accepted quote. It rises with your tier, up to +1% at the top. The bonus is paid by GoFindPart out of its margin — it is added to your payout, never deducted from your quote.
- Notification wave. How early you see new requests. Top-tier sellers are in the first wave and see matching requests immediately; later waves fire only if a request has not already filled.
- Daily alert cap. How many request alerts you can receive per day — higher at the top so proven sellers get the broadest pipeline, lower down to prevent alert fatigue.
Whatever your tier, your payout date is fixed and scheduled — set by the payment terms on your account, and paid by GoFindPart on the dot once the order completes. The terms you offer also work for you commercially: trade buyers see them on your quote when choosing between offers, so stronger terms make yours the more attractive one — while a Net 0 quote is simply the less attractive one next to a rival’s that carries terms.
How to climb the ladder
- Every seller starts at the entry tier. You graduate to the standard tier the moment you meet all of the baseline thresholds — deliveries completed, days active, account health and Priority Score — not just some of them.
- The middle tiers are automatic. As your Priority Score crosses each band, your tier follows on the next scoring run. Demotions use a grace window, so one bad week does not tank you.
- The top tier is earned over time. Premier is for excellent sellers with a strong, sustained track record — it reflects consistent performance, not a single good month.
What actually moves your score
The score rewards the things buyers care about: fulfilling what you quote, delivering on time, capturing clean proof of delivery, and earning good reviews. Do those consistently and every lever improves together.
Once you have climbed, see exactly how and when you get paid — including how the tier hold and the payout schedule fit together.
