Introducing Glasswing
Our pay-per-lead program where you pay only for sales inquiries
Overview of the Glasswing Tier
Glasswing is FindLight’s pay-per-lead program designed for performance-focused vendors. Instead of paying recurring fees, you only pay when you receive qualified buyer inquiries (see more in the FAQ section below).
There are no subscriptions, no upfront charges, and no listing limits. You get full visibility across the platform — including homepage banners and premium category slots — without any monthly commitment.
It’s free to list. You only pay for real results.
Lead Pricing
- Per lead: 5% of lead value (min $10, max $250)
- Monthly billing cap: $750
- Annual billing cap: $7,000
You’ll never be charged more than $750 in any month or $7,000 in any 12 months.
How the Pay Per Lead Program Works
FindLight’s Glasswing tier operates on a simple and transparent model: you list your products for free and only pay when you receive a qualified lead. There are no subscriptions, no setup fees, and no recurring charges.
How You Receive Leads
- Direct Leads: When a buyer submits an inquiry through your product listing.
- Forwarded Leads: When FindLight manually forwards an inquiry that matches your offerings — at no charge.
How Billing Works
Lead billing is processed monthly following a manual review by the FindLight team. At the end of each month, our admins review all qualified leads you received and finalize your bill. Once reviewed, your saved payment method is securely charged on the 5th of the following month, and a detailed invoice is made available in your dashboard.
Here’s how lead fees are calculated:
- Per Lead: 5% of the lead’s stated value — with a minimum charge of $10 and a maximum of $250 per lead
- Billing Caps: You’ll never be charged more than $750 in any month or $7,000 in any 12 months, no matter how many leads you receive
Lead Value Calculation
The lead value is calculated using two key inputs: the quantity requested by the buyer in the RFQ form and the Min Price you’ve set when listing the product. These two values are multiplied (Quantity × Min Price) to determine the total lead value, which serves as the basis for your lead billing fee. This holds even if you’ve also set a Max Price to show buyers a range on the product page — billing uses Min Price, not Max.
You’ll have full visibility into each inquiry, including buyer details, inquiry content, and relevant timestamps — all accessible from your dashboard. A summary of these leads and their associated charges appear in your monthly statement.
Example:
A buyer requests a quote for 3 laser modules on a listing with a Min Price of $800. The total lead value is $2,400 (3 × $800) — this is true whether or not you’ve also set a Max Price. Since leads are billed at 5% of the lead value:
- 5% of $2,400 = $120 billed
- If the value were only $100, the minimum fee of $10 would apply
- If the value were $10,000, the maximum cap of $250 would apply
Sample Billing Scenarios:
| Lead Value | Billing Rule | Fee Charged |
|---|---|---|
| $400 | 5% of value | $20 |
| $9,000 | 5% of value, capped at $250 | $250 |
| $150 | 5% of value | $7.50 → min $10 applies |

Yes. You will never pay more than $750 in any month or $7,000 in any 12 months under the Glasswing tier, regardless of how many leads you receive.
A qualified lead is any inquiry submitted by a buyer through our platform with valid contact info. During our monthly review, duplicate leads, spam, and clearly irrelevant inquiries (for example, someone using the form to promote something to you) are waived and not billed. Inquiries from existing customers or students are still treated as legitimate, billable leads, since they represent real engagement with your listing.
If you believe a lead falls into one of our waived categories — duplicate, spam, or a clearly irrelevant/promotional message — you're welcome to request a review, and we'll look at it with you. This isn't a self-serve rejection: you can't decline a lead just to avoid the lead fee. Review requests must include supporting evidence as an attachment and be submitted before the 5th of the following month. Separately, vendors are expected to respond to every lead that isn't spam, whether or not a review is requested.
