Partner program guide
=====================

Welcome to the Ploi Cloud partner program! This guide explains everything you need to know about becoming a partner and earning 5% on your hosting costs, freely divided between your own kickback and discounts for your clients.

## What is the partner program?

The Ploi Cloud partner program allows agencies, freelancers, and consultants to earn 5% on all their hosting costs for non-personal teams. As a partner, you decide how to split that 5%: keep it all as your own kickback, pass it on as a discount for your clients, or any combination in between.

## How does it work?

### Getting started as a partner

1. **Visit the partner page**: Go to [ploi.cloud/partners](https://ploi.cloud/partners) to learn about the program
2. **Register with a partner code**: Click "Join partner program" to register with a special partner code
3. **Create teams**: Set up non-personal teams for your client projects
4. **Earn and share 5%**: Freely divide 5% between your own kickback and client discounts

### How commission tracking works

Once you're registered as a partner:

1. Your account is marked with partner status
2. All non-personal teams you create are eligible for the 5% partner benefit
3. Any applications and services in non-personal teams generate commissionable revenue
4. You freely divide 5% between your own kickback and discounts for your clients

This means you can:
- Host your clients' applications under your account
- Manage multiple client projects through separate teams
- Split the 5% between your own earnings and client discounts however you choose
- Your personal team remains at full price (no partner benefit)

### Payout terms
- **Quarterly payments**: Partner commissions are paid every three months
- **€100 minimum threshold**: Payouts are processed once you reach €100 in earnings
- **Continuous earnings**: Keep earning as long as you use the platform
