How the partner program works
Commit, brand, price, sell.
Top up credit, sell at your price, keep the difference.
- Pick a monthly top-up tier — credit you spend, never a fee on usage
- A wholesale rate on every plan
- White-label the product as your own
- Set your retail prices and sell
- Credits draw down at your wholesale cost as you provision

Six tiers. Top up more, pay less per seat.
Your tier is a monthly minimum top-up that sets your wholesale rate on every plan. It is not a fee charged on top of what you use: the money becomes credit, provisioning a customer draws it down at your wholesale rate, and whatever you do not spend stays yours — valid for 12 months and spent oldest first. Explorer ($0) has no minimum at all; you can sell from day one at 10% off list, funded purely by top-ups. Starter ($300) and up deepen your wholesale and raise your custom-domain allowance.
| Tier | Monthly top-up | Can sell? | Custom domains |
|---|---|---|---|
| Explorerpay as you go · 10% off | $0 | Yes | 0 |
| Starter | $300 | Yes | 1 |
| Growth | $800 | Yes | 1 |
| Business | $1,500 | Yes | 2 |
| Scale | $4,000 | Yes | 3 |
| Enterprise | $8,000 | Yes | 100 |
Wholesale prices are stored explicitly per tier per plan — not a percentage off retail. See the exact dollars on the pricing page.
Your tier sets an explicit wholesale rate. You set retail.
Each tier carries a fixed wholesale dollar amount on every plan — not a percentage off, an actual price. Standard drops from $10 retail to $6 at Growth and $3 at the top tier; Pro from $24 to $7.20. You decide the retail price your customers pay, and the spread is your margin. Topping up more each month means lower wholesale, and the top-up is credit you spend rather than a fee on top; storage add-ons discount a little less to protect margin.

Retail $10 → $6 at Growth → $3 at the top tier. These are explicit prices, not a formula.
How you pay
Credits are the channel currency.
You don't get an invoice per customer — you hold a credit balance, and provisioning draws it down at your wholesale cost. One credit equals one US dollar.
1 credit = $1
Credits are the currency of the channel. When you provision or renew a customer seat, the wholesale cost is deducted from your balance.
$200 welcome gift
Every self-serve signup begins with a $200 welcome gift — credits at signup with a 30-day window; make any paid purchase inside that window and the gift locks in for 12 months, but if you do not purchase by day 30 the unspent gift credits are removed and provisioned customers pause until you top up.
12-month credit validity
Live today: purchased credits are valid 12 months from purchase and are consumed oldest-first, with 30- and 7-day expiry warning emails.
Top up via Stripe
When you need more, top up through Stripe checkout — minimum $50, up to $5,000 per checkout (contact support above that). Top up any time from the portal.
You get a low-balance warning (with a cooldown so you are never spammed) as credits run down. Today, a customer is suspended immediately if your balance can't cover its wholesale cost — so keep a buffer.

One clear order of precedence.
When the portal computes the wholesale price you pay on any seat, it resolves it in a fixed order — the first match wins. This keeps pricing predictable whether you're an independent partner or operating under a distributor.
1 · Admin override
A negotiated, account-specific price set by the Genie9 channel team takes priority over everything else.
2 · Distributor template
If you operate under a distributor, their pricing template is applied ahead of your own tier.
3 · Your tier price
Otherwise you pay the explicit wholesale dollar stored for your commitment tier — Starter through Enterprise.
4 · Explorer pay-as-you-go price (10% off list)
With no tier configured, the Explorer pay-as-you-go price — 10% off list — is the fallback, so a partner on Explorer can sell from day one.
The advisory discount percentage you may see on a tier is never used in this calculation — prices are always read as explicit dollars.
