Partner Program
The Control Panel includes a built-in partner program for resellers and service providers. Partners are organized into tiers with associated discounts, certifications, and revenue tracking.
Partner Tiers
The partner program has three tiers, each with increasing benefits:
| Tier | Description |
|---|---|
| Silver | Entry-level partnership with basic discounts |
| Gold | Mid-tier partnership with higher discounts and priority support |
| Platinum | Top-tier partnership with maximum discounts, co-marketing, and dedicated account management |
Tier Benefits
| Benefit | Silver | Gold | Platinum |
|---|---|---|---|
| Discount on licensing | Standard | Enhanced | Maximum |
| Partner portal access | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Priority support | No | Yes | Yes |
| Co-marketing materials | No | No | Yes |
| Dedicated account manager | No | No | Yes |
| Certification access | Basic | Advanced | All |
Discount Engine
Discounts are calculated automatically based on the partner’s tier and server count. The discount engine applies percentage-based reductions to licensing fees.
How Discounts Work
The discount rate is determined by:
- Partner tier — higher tiers receive larger base discounts
- Server count — volume-based discounts increase with the number of managed servers
The discount is applied to the partner’s monthly licensing costs. The exact discount percentages are configured by the Control Panel administrator.
Discount Calculation Example
A Gold-tier partner managing 50 servers would receive:
- Base Gold tier discount (e.g., 15%)
- Volume bonus for 50+ servers (e.g., additional 5%)
- Total effective discount: 20%
Discount rates and volume thresholds are configurable by the Control Panel administrator. The values shown above are examples only.
Partner Certifications
Partners can earn certifications that validate their expertise with Quazzar Cloud products. Certifications are tracked in the Control Panel with expiry dates.
Certification Types
Certifications are organized by skill area:
- Cloud OS Administration — managing Cloud OS instances and applications
- Fleet Management — operating large-scale fleets via the Control Panel
- Kubernetes Operations — managing multi-cluster K8s deployments
- MSP Operations — running a multi-tenant managed service provider business
Managing Certifications
- Open Settings → Partners (global admins)
- Click a partner in the list to open its panel
- Under Certifications, enter the certification name and expiry date
- Click Issue; the bin icon revokes a certification
Certification Expiry
Certifications have expiry dates. The Control Panel tracks expiry and surfaces warnings when certifications are approaching their expiration:
| Time to Expiry | Indicator |
|---|---|
| More than 90 days | Active (green) |
| 30 to 90 days | Expiring soon (yellow) |
| Less than 30 days | Critical (orange) |
| Expired | Expired (red) |
Expired certifications may affect a partner’s tier eligibility. Review and renew certifications before they expire to maintain tier status.
Revenue Tracking
The Control Panel tracks monthly revenue generated through each partner. Revenue data helps you understand partnership value and make tier adjustment decisions.
Revenue Metrics
- Monthly recurring revenue (MRR) — licensing fees from the partner’s clients
- Server count — total managed servers across all partner clients
- Client count — number of clients managed by the partner
- Revenue trend — month-over-month comparison
Revenue Reports
- Open Settings → Partners
- Click a partner
- The panel’s Revenue section lists the last six months (servers, discount, net)
- The Discount calculator shows the partner’s tier discount for a given server count
Partner Management
Adding a Partner
- Open Settings → Partners
- Click Add partner
- Enter the partner details:
- Tenant ID of the partner’s workspace
- Company name and contact
- Initial tier
- Click Add partner
New tier creates a tier (name, slug, server range, discount, benefits).
Editing a Partner
Click a partner to open its panel and:
- Change the partner tier
- Update contact information
- Manage certifications
- View revenue data
- Adjust discount configuration
Partner Portal
Partners access the Control Panel with their own credentials and see a view scoped to their clients. They can manage their clients’ instances, view billing reports, and track their certifications and revenue.
Referrals
Every partner gets a referral code when it joins the program. On Settings → Partners, a partner workspace sees Your referrals:
- its codes with how many workspaces signed up with each, Link (copies a sign-up link,
https://<control-center>/login?ref=CODE) and a switch to turn a code off; - New code for campaigns (owners and admins);
- totals: referred sign-ups, the last 30 days and those on a paid plan;
- the latest workspaces that signed up with its codes.
Anyone who opens the link lands on Create a workspace; the new workspace is credited to the partner. Unknown or turned-off codes are ignored (the sign-up still works, it just isn’t credited), and a partner can’t refer its own workspace.
Quazzar staff see Referrals · all partners with every partner’s codes and counts; the partner’s detail panel shows the same card for one partner.
| Method | Path | Description |
|---|---|---|
GET | /api/partners/me/referrals | The partner workspace’s codes, counts and recent sign-ups (404 not_a_partner otherwise); staff get every partner |
GET | /api/partners/{id}/referrals | One partner (the partner itself or staff) |
POST | /api/partners/{id}/referral-codes | New code |
PUT | /api/partners/{id}/referral-codes/{codeId} | {"active": false} turns a code off |
POST | /api/auth/register?ref=CODE | Sign up with a referral code (or "ref" in the body) |
