How software partners work

Every route your software takes to market

A software program rarely runs on one partner type. PartnerOS handles resale, co-sell, managed services, and referral in the same channel — each with its own registration and payout rules.

Resellers & VARs

Resell under contract and bundle with services, earning margin plus a recurring share of every dollar of MRR they carry.

ISV & tech partners

Build integrations and co-sell into shared accounts; referral and co-sell splits track every deal they help source.

MSPs

Run the product for their customers on a subscription and collect a recurring services rebate on each billing cycle.

Referral partners

Send a qualified lead, register it for attribution, and collect a bounty or first-year revenue share when it closes.

Marketplaces & agencies

Transact through cloud marketplaces or delivery agencies; every order reconciles back to the partner that sourced it.

Distributors

Aggregate many resellers under a two-tier model, with volume and override commissions rolling up the channel.

Vocabulary

Speak channel, not generic

PartnerOS ships a small set of generic objects. Map them to the language of the software channel — co-sell deals, MRR share, deal desks — with no forked codebase.

Channel structure

Model your whole channel, deep

Stack the software channel the way it really works: a distributor over VARs and MSPs over end customers, and a global SI over regional co-sell partners. MRR rolls up the tree and upline partners earn an override on downline revenue.

  • Distributor → VAR / MSP → end customer, and SI → regional
  • Recurring MRR override and co-sell splits per level
  • Every partner scoped to its own accounts, server-side

Recurring commissions

Pay a share of MRR, every cycle

Define recurring rules that accrue a slice of MRR the moment an invoice clears, tier the rate by ARR band, and add one-off referral bounties for sourced leads. Every accrual lands on an append-only ledger you can audit to the cent.

  • Recurring MRR share, tiered by ARR band
  • Referral bounties and co-sell splits on the same ledger
  • Managed provider payouts with a full audit trail

In the product

Built for a recurring-revenue channel

From the deal a reseller registers to the ARR dashboard you share back, every surface understands subscriptions, tiers, and per-partner isolation.

ARR analytics

See ARR and usage by partner

Pipe product events into custom metrics — activations, seats, revenue — and compose a dashboard rendered at any partner level. Give a VAR a live view of the accounts they source, with a hard leak guard between tenants.

  • Operator-defined metrics over any product event
  • ARR, activation, and usage widgets per partner
  • Rendered per reseller, isolated by construction

Partner portal

A branded deal desk for every reseller

Each partner gets their own white-label portal on their own domain — where they register co-sell deals, track MRR commissions, and pull the latest sales assets. Same platform, their front door.
