what is affiliate vs vendor
An affiliate is an organization, business entity or individual that is related to and often controlled by a third party. This control may extend to shared management or ownership, common use of facilities and equipment, or access to other resources like fulfillment or customer service.
â¢ A vendor is more close to the end consumer than a supplier who appears to be earlier in the supply chain. â¢ Vendor is a more generic term and applies to anybody supplying goods and services. â¢ A vendor is rarely a manufacturer and gets products on consignment basis from the manufacturers.
