Every way to pay a partner, in one rules engine
This isn't what PartnerOS costs — it's how you decide what your partners earn. Flat, tiered, recurring, per-deal, royalty, markup, or a different rule per product: compose any structure and it accrues, cent-accurate, to an auditable ledger.
Flat · Tiered · Recurring · Bounty · Split · Royalty · Markup · Per-product
Pick a payout structure — or mix several
Each is a rule you configure, not code you write. Stack them per product, per tier, or per vertical — a program can run all eight at once.
Flat %
rate × deal value
One rate on every closed deal — the simplest place to start.
Tiered %
rate rises by tier or volume
Bronze 10% · Silver 15% · Gold 20%, resolved from the partner tier.
Per-deal bounty
fixed amount per win
A flat $500 for every closed deal, whatever its size.
Recurring / residual
% of MRR, every cycle
20% of subscription revenue for as long as the customer stays.
Milestone / split
upfront + on-close
40% accrues on registration, 60% when the deal is won.
Royalty / rebate
% of unit revenue
6% royalty on every franchise location's monthly sales.
Markup / cost-plus
keep the margin
Reseller buys at 30% off wholesale and keeps the spread.
Per-product rules
a different rule per SKU or line
Hardware 8% · services 20% · renewals 12%, all in one program.
Configure any rule without code
Choose a model, set the basis and rate, scope it to a product, tier, or vertical, and add caps, floors, and clawbacks. A live preview shows the exact payout before you save.

It lands in an audit ledger, then pays out
Every rule accrues to an append-only ledger the instant its event fires. Recurring schedules advance on their own, partners request withdrawals, operators approve, and a payout worker executes the transfer — every movement traceable.
- ✓Append-only ledger in integer minor units
- ✓Recurring schedules + adjustments and reversals
- ✓Withdrawal requests with operator approval gates
- ✓Managed provider payouts with retry and backoff
The same engine, whatever a “partner” means to you
PartnerOS isn't only for SaaS. A partner can be a reseller, a franchisee, a campus, a broker, or a distributor — and each gets the pricing model that fits.
SaaS & subscriptions
Recurring 20% of MRR
Resellers keep a share of every renewal they source.
Franchise & retail
6% royalty on unit revenue
Each café or store remits a monthly royalty on its sales.
Education & campuses
$150 bounty per enrollment
Recruiters earn a flat fee for every enrolled student.
Resellers & distribution
Cost-plus markup
VARs buy at wholesale and keep the margin they set.
Insurance & finance
Split first-year vs renewal
Brokers earn 40% in year one, 10% on each renewal.
Agencies & referrals
Tiered % by volume
The referral rate climbs as sourced revenue grows.
Accurate money, clean contracts
The ledger is the source of truth
Every accrual, adjustment, and payout is an append-only entry stored in integer minor units — never a float, always reconcilable, fully auditable.
Money stays out of legal documents
Payout terms live in rules and the ledger, never in agreement or document templates — so a contract can never leak or contradict what a partner is actually paid.
