# Get Started with Seller as a Retailer

impact.com’s Seller solution allows your sellers[^1] to collaborate with you to increase sales activity on your platform. Seller requires minimal lift from you, letting your sellers build and manage their own partner networks. You simply enable the tracking and approve their programs, and they handle the rest.

2. **Save** your changes.
   {% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Invite your sellers

1. Simply share your signup link with the sellers you’d like to work with.
   * Each seller who uses the link will onboard onto a separate, dedicated Seller program tied to your program.
2. You can follow up with your sellers if needed via impact.com's [messaging feature](https://app.gitbook.com/s/b2rE79d9UhOKZQLgzSqx/what-would-you-like-to-learn-about/platform-features/working-with-brands/contacting-a-brand/message-your-brands).
   {% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Next steps

Once your sellers have signed up and created a Seller program, you must approve it to confirm that you want to share program data with them. After approval, your sellers will be active, and you can continue to manage any new applications you receive from other sellers.
