Partner With Sistava
Sistava offers three separate ways to partner: the Affiliate Program for promoting the platform, the Reseller Program for selling it to your own customers, and the Expert Directory for implementation consultants who want to be found by buyers.
TL;DR
Affiliate is for anyone who wants to promote Sistava with a referral link and earn commission. Reseller is for agencies and consultancies who want to actively sell the platform to their market with a dedicated dashboard. Expert Directory is for consultants who want to be listed so businesses can find and hire them directly for implementation work. All three are free to join, and every application is reviewed manually before approval.
How It Works
Each program is a distinct track with its own purpose, terms, and application:
| Program | What You Do | How You Earn |
|---|---|---|
| Affiliate Program | Promote Sistava with a referral link in your content | 30% recurring commission on the net revenue your referrals pay |
| Reseller Program | Sell Sistava to your own customer base as part of your business | A recurring share of the net profit from every customer you bring |
| Expert Directory | Get listed as a consultant; businesses contact you directly | You set and collect your own fees; Sistava takes no cut |
Affiliate and Reseller are both commission programs on Sistava's own billing, tracked through a unique referral link or promo code locked in at signup. Expert Directory is different: it is not a commission program at all. It is a listing that connects a business with a consultant, and the two parties agree pricing and payment between themselves.
Where to Find It
- Affiliate Program:
/affiliate, linked from the Partners hub - Reseller Program:
/reseller, linked from the Partners hub - Expert Directory:
/experts, linked from the Partners hub, with individual profile pages at/experts/{slug}
All three are reachable from the Partners hub page, which frames Affiliate as promotion and Reseller and Expert Directory as implementation and delivery.
What You Can Do
Affiliate Program
| Action | Detail |
|---|---|
| Apply | Submit your email through the Affiliate page apply form. Free, no fees ever |
| Earn commission | 30% recurring commission on the net revenue from every customer you refer, for as long as they stay subscribed |
| What counts | Plan payments and paid credit top-ups. Free, promo, and bonus credits do not earn commission |
| Track referrals | A personal referral dashboard shows every click, signup, conversion, and payout in real time |
| Get paid | Monthly payouts via PayPal, Wise, or bank transfer |
| No cap | There is no limit on how much you can earn |
Applications are reviewed one by one, not auto-approved. Once approved, you get a unique referral link and dashboard access.
Reseller Program
| Action | Detail |
|---|---|
| Apply | Submit your business details through the Reseller page apply form. No setup fee, no monthly fee |
| Earn commission | A recurring share of the net profit from every customer you bring, on every payment they make, for as long as they stay |
| Attribution | Your unique reseller link or promo code, locked in at signup for the life of the account. First-touch only: a customer already attributed to you is never overwritten |
| Sell your way | Standard pricing by default, or custom plans shown only to your referred customers if you want to position higher |
| Manage accounts | For customers you set up on a client's behalf, you get full access to operate the account |
| Track it | A reseller dashboard shows every customer, their purchases, credit usage, and what you earn, live |
The Reseller Program sells under the Sistava brand, with a co-branded landing page carrying the reseller's logo. A full white-label arrangement is a separate deal available once a partnership has proven traction, not part of the standard signup.
Expert Directory
| Action | Detail |
|---|---|
| Apply to be listed | Submit your email through the Expert Directory apply form to join the expert waitlist. Free to join |
| Manual review | Every application is reviewed by hand before a profile goes live |
| Get a profile | Approved experts get a dedicated profile page showing their name, region, budget range, headline, and a Contact link |
| No commission taken | Sistava does not take a cut of what an expert charges their client. Pricing and payment are agreed directly between expert and buyer |
How a buyer finds and contacts an expert:
- Open the Expert Directory at
/expertsand browse the listed profiles (name, region, budget range, profile type) - Click a profile to open its full page
- Use the Contact link to reach the expert directly, or Visit website to see more of their work
- Scope the work directly with the expert: what to automate, how long, and what it costs
- The expert configures the work on the buyer's own Sistava workspace, using the buyer's own data and employees
How to Set It Up
To become an Affiliate or Reseller:
- Go to the Affiliate page (
/affiliate) or Reseller page (/reseller) - Click the apply button and submit your email (plus optional name, company, website, and message)
- Wait for manual review. There is no automatic approval
- Once approved, receive your unique link and, for resellers, a promo code and co-branded page
- Share your link. Any signup through it is attributed to you and appears in your dashboard
To get listed in the Expert Directory:
- Go to the Expert Directory page (
/experts) - Click "Apply to be listed" or "Join the Expert Network" and submit your email (plus optional name, website, and message)
- Wait for manual review
- Once approved, you receive onboarding details and listing instructions, and your profile appears in the public directory
Tips and Tricks
- Pick by what you actually do. Content creator wanting a referral link: Affiliate. Business that will actively sell Sistava to its own customers: Reseller. Hands-on implementation work for clients: Expert Directory
- Reseller commission is on net profit, Affiliate commission is on net revenue. Different bases, so do not assume the two pay the same way
- A reseller can attribute enterprise accounts directly, not only through self-serve signups with a link or code
- An expert's profile is their storefront. The headline, region, and budget shown in the directory are what a buyer sees before clicking Contact
Good to Know
- All three programs are free to join, with no setup fee, and every application is reviewed manually. None are auto-approved.
- Affiliate and Reseller commissions apply only to real paid revenue: free, promo, and bonus credits are excluded.
- Attribution for Affiliate and Reseller is first-touch and locked at signup. A customer already attributed to one partner is never re-tagged to another.
- Expert Directory involves no commission or attribution tracking. It is a discovery listing; the transaction happens directly between expert and buyer, outside Sistava's billing.
- A disabled partner or program stops new attribution, but does not remove tags a tenant already has.
- The programs are independent: someone could be an Affiliate and, separately, a listed Expert, since applications are unrelated.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between the Affiliate Program and the Reseller Program? A: Affiliate is for creators and influencers who promote Sistava with a referral link and earn 30% recurring commission on net revenue. Reseller is for agencies and consultancies actively selling Sistava to their own customer base, with a dedicated dashboard, account management, and a recurring share of net profit instead of a flat percentage of revenue.
Q: How is the Expert Directory different from Affiliate and Reseller? A: Affiliate and Reseller both pay commission on Sistava's own billing through a tracked referral link. The Expert Directory is not a commission program: it is a public listing so businesses can find and directly hire a consultant. Sistava takes no cut of what a listed expert charges.
Q: Do I need to pay to join any of these programs? A: No. Affiliate, Reseller, and Expert Directory are all free to join, with no setup fee and no monthly fee.
Q: Are applications automatically approved? A: No. Every application to every program, Affiliate, Reseller, or Expert Directory, is reviewed manually before approval.
Q: How do I contact a listed expert? A: Open their profile in the Expert Directory and use the Contact link on the page. Pricing and the scope of work are agreed directly between you and the expert; Sistava is not involved in that transaction.
