Onboarding & approvals
Vendor approval workflow for curated lists
Review queue, terms, and publish controls.
Every vendor on your list reflects your judgment. ReferLyst gives you an approval workflow — applications land in your inbox, you verify payment if needed, and publish with one action.
The problem
Sound familiar? These are the pain points people search for before they find a better way.

- Members see vendors before admin review
