Note: This feature is only available to brands that have the Marketing Development Fund (MDF) request feature enabled. To have the feature enabled, reach out to your CSM or contact support.
Marketing Development Funds are funds that you can provide to your partners in support of their marketing initiatives. You can review MDF requests from your partners, approve or reject them, and even initiate a partner funds transfer to send them the funds.
