Same product. Same list price. Customers choose what fits their team. Partners earn margin only from the customers they actually deploy.

Deployment via Authorized Partner
Partners pre-purchase Activation Credits at tier discount (10–45%). 1 credit always equals 1 USD of deployment value.
Use credits to activate customer licenses (bundle + skills + packs). Credits consumed at list price. Margin = pre-purchase discount.
Monthly or annual renewals consume credits at the same rate. Recurring deployment = recurring margin.
Discount on Activation Credits at primary sale (when buying from the Platform Operator). Higher tier = better margin. Volume guaranteed via tier-specific commitments.
| Tier | Discount range | On $10,000 credit purchase | On $50,000 credit purchase |
|---|---|---|---|
| Authorized | 10–15% | $1,000–$1,500 margin | $5,000–$7,500 margin |
| Solution Specialist | 20–25% | $2,000–$2,500 margin | $10,000–$12,500 margin |
| Regional | 30–35% | $3,000–$3,500 margin | $15,000–$17,500 margin |
| Strategic | 40–45% | $4,000–$4,500 margin | $20,000–$22,500 margin |
Numbers shown are illustrative. Actual margins depend on negotiated tier and volume commitments. Discount applies only to primary sale (buying credits from the Platform Operator); secondary trades between partners follow open marketplace rules.
Credits give partners predictable cash flow planning. You pre-purchase a known quantity at known discount. No surprises on renewals, no commission disputes. It's also why we can offer 40-45% discounts at top tier — we have the working capital upfront.
No. Credits don't expire. Some addon packs (like SMS pack 5000) have validity_days for the consumable resource, but the credits used to buy the pack don't. You can hold credits indefinitely on your partner account.
No. List price is shown to customers. Partner margin is between you and the Platform Operator. Optional 3–7% customer discount on partner-assisted deployments is your decision per deployment.
Authorized partners require an initial purchase of ≥ 100 credits ($100). Subsequent purchases have no minimum. There's no monthly commitment.
Sometimes. Promotional cycles (e.g., Q4 expansion drives) may include volume bonuses above tier discount. These are time-bounded and announced via partner newsletter — never hidden in fine print.
Partner discount is treated as a B2B trade discount, not commission. Tax treatment depends on your jurisdiction; consult your tax advisor. We provide invoices with discount itemized for accounting clarity.
