# Links to other modules

> How the Payout domain links to sellers and orders across the marketplace.

Modules in Mercur never reference each other directly. They connect through
**module links**. The Payout module links to the Seller and Order modules. Once a
link is defined, you retrieve related records with `query.graph` using the link
alias.

```ts theme={null}
const { data: sellers } = await query.graph({
  entity: "seller",
  fields: ["id", "name", "payout_account.*", "payouts.*"],
})
```

## Sellers

| Linked module        | Relationship                                                      |
| -------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Seller** (account) | A store has **one** payout account (`seller` ↔ `payout_account`). |
| **Seller** (payouts) | A store has **many** payouts (`seller` ↔ `payout`, list).         |

## Orders

| Linked module | Relationship                                              |
| ------------- | --------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Order**     | An order has **many** payouts (`order` ↔ `payout`, list). |

<Note>
  A payout is linked to both the order it settles and the seller it pays. The
  account link is one-to-one, while the seller-payouts and order-payouts links
  are lists.
