CaveTech Vendor System

CaveTech Vendor connects your Second Life store to a web dashboard. You keep the inventory in a Dropbox, define what you sell as a Product, and assign that Product to a Vendor in your store.

Access and commission

Vendor access is free and does not expire. The commercial mode determines whether eligible Linden Dollar sales carry a CaveTech commission. A weekly paid period pauses that platform commission while active; optional partner shares remain separate.

For example, L$100 paid with a 5% commission and no other deductions leaves L$95. Consult Billing for the current offer and Understand earnings for the full calculation.
