Partner Program
Earn up to US$499 30–45% of the monthly for as long as they stay
The deal, in thirty seconds
Running an agency and want to offer this to your own clients? There is a wholesale route for that.
For agencies and independent operators who already sell to local businesses — a till or card machine, a website, texting, a service contract — and want one more thing to offer them.
- You set your installation fee up to US$499 and keep 100% of it — we take nothing
- 30–45% of every business's subscription, every month, for as long as they stay
- No joining fee, no licence, no kit, no territory to buy
- Your monthly share begins at each business's second payment
- No exclusivity — keep selling everything you already sell, no quota, no territory
Why add it
Something new to sell the businesses you already look after
You already sell to local shops, cafés and salons. You have the relationship, and you already invoice them. This is one more thing to offer them — and the setup is work you charge for yourself, at your own price.
You keep your own invoice
Your price, your invoice, your client. Flex Rewards takes no share of what you charge to set a business up. Nothing here asks you to stop selling anything else, and there is no exclusivity.
Their customers use it every day
The card ends up on the counter and in their customers' phones. On your next visit you can show the owner how many joined and how many came back. That is a reason to call a client you might otherwise not speak to for months.
Somebody visiting in person is much the best way to do this — the setup is about fifteen minutes on site, and the follow-up visit is what turns a business that might cancel into one that stays. It is not a requirement, though. You can set the account up for a merchant and talk them through putting the Code Generator on a device they already own; we do it that way ourselves from New Zealand, and we are straight that it is second best. If nobody on your side can ever visit, this still works — it just works better when someone can.
How the money works
Two ways you get paid. You set the first one yourself.
1. Your installation fee — you keep 100%
You set the price. We raise the invoice for you on the day you finish. Flex Rewards takes no share of it. The money is released to you as soon as that invoice is paid.
Around US$250 is typical. The ceiling depends on your currency. This fee is yours and optional — a business that signs up on its own never pays one — and you must put it in writing before they pay.
2. A share of the subscription — every month
The business pays Flex Rewards US$36 a month. You get 30–45% of that, every month, for as long as they stay. It starts from their second payment.
Prices vary by country — GBP 26, CAD 46, SGD 48, AUD 48, NZD 48. Your percentage is the same everywhere. A business with several locations or card types pays more, and your percentage applies to all of it.
An illustration
Arithmetic, not a forecast. What you earn depends on how many businesses you sign, what you charge, and how long they stay.
One business, start to finish
You charge US$250 to set them up, and keep all of it. They pay US$36 a month. At the starting rate of 30%, your share is $10.80 a month, on top of your setup fee.
Where it goes from there
Every business you add lifts your rate on all of them. The fifth takes you to 35%. At ten, that is $126 a month. Thirty takes you to 45%. Nothing more to sign — the businesses just keep using it.
The figures above are worked examples of how the rates apply. They are not a projection and not a statement of typical earnings. The program is new, so there are no partner results to average. What you earn depends on your own effort, pricing and market.
The more businesses you add, the higher your rate
Your rate applies to every business you look after — including the ones you signed years ago.
Businesses you look after
45% is the maximum. No bonuses, no modifiers, no conditions. When your count crosses a tier, the new rate applies to every business you look after — not just the next one you sign. A business that cancels drops out of the count.
What it costs you
An hour online, before anyone visits
You build the card, the rewards and the branding online first. It takes about an hour, and it does not have to be you who does it.
What you actually do
Four steps, once per business. The fourth is the one that keeps them paying.
Build the card first
You build the card, the rewards and the branding online before the visit. About an hour. The business does none of this work.
Use the device they own
Most counters have a spare tablet or an old phone already. That becomes the code generator, and it costs nobody anything. If you would rather supply one, price nearer US$350 than US$250 — a US$80 tablet eats most of the margin. Either way, put in writing who owns it.
Arrive with it working
You are not pitching software. You put a working card on their counter, train the staff in ten minutes, and show the owner their first customer joining. About fifteen minutes, once.
Go back with the numbers
Two weeks later, go back with the numbers: how many joined, how many returned. That visit is what turns a business that might cancel into one that stays. Your monthly share depends on them staying.
What we give you
The businesses are yours
Recorded to you from the day you create their account. No tracking cookie that forgets you after 90 days.
Two connections, set up once
Setup fees are charged on your own payment account, so they come straight to you. Your monthly share is paid separately, to bank details you give us. The portal sets up both.
Training
Product training before your account goes live, so nobody arrives unsure how it works.
Reports to hand over
Every business's own figures — customers joined, repeat visits — are in its Control Panel from day one, so you always have something to show the owner. A single monthly summary across all of them is being built.
Somewhere to escalate
A direct route into Flex Rewards support, so you can give an owner a straight answer instead of a guess.
One dashboard for every merchant
Sign in and see every business you look after in one list, and what each one is earning you. Built for someone running a dozen at once rather than checking on one. Setup fees you are owed are visible in your own payment account as well.
Who this is for
A good fit
You already sell to local businesses and they pay you every month — a till or card machine, a website, texting, a service contract. It might be a dozen of them or two. You would rather set up ten properly than fifty badly, and somebody on your side can either visit or walk an owner through it on the phone.
Probably not a fit
You want to pass on a link and stop there. Setting a business up and answering the owner's questions afterwards is the part that makes this work, and it is the part we cannot do for you. You also need paying before a business is live. Nothing wrong with any of that — it just is not this.
For businesses already using Flex Rewards
Already running Flex Rewards in your own business? You’re the ideal partner.
You already know what a stamp card does to repeat visits, and you have a working one on your own counter to show people. An owner telling the barber two doors down is the highest-trust introduction there is, and it is a two-minute conversation you are better placed to have than anyone we could recruit.
The terms are exactly the same: no joining fee, your own installation fee to keep, and 30–45% of every subscription for as long as it runs. Apply and mention your existing account.
Questions
What does it cost to join?
Nothing, ever. There is no joining fee, no license, no training fee, no kit and no territory to buy. If anyone ever asks you to pay Flex Rewards to become a partner, it is not us.
Can I add this to what I already sell?
Yes, and that is the point — most partners already sell something else to the same businesses. There is no exclusivity, no territory, no quota and no restriction on what else you sell. Setting a venue up is fifteen minutes on site and the follow-up visit is shorter, both on your own schedule, and the person who does them does not have to be the person who owns the account.
How much do I charge for installation?
You decide, up to a ceiling that depends on your currency: US$499, C$699, A$749, NZ$849, S$679 or £399. Around US$250 is the figure that works out when the business supplies its own tablet, or nearer US$350 if you include the hardware. It is your service and your invoice, so it is your call — we only cap it, and ask that you put it in writing to the business before they pay.
Do I have to supply a tablet?
No. It is your decision, not a rule. The lowest-friction answer is almost always a device the business already owns — a spare tablet or an old phone works, and it costs neither of you anything. Supplying one yourself is a legitimate way to remove an objection at the counter; just price for it, and state in writing who owns the device.
When do I get paid?
Your installation fee is invoiced by you and paid to you by the business directly. Your share of the monthly subscription starts from that business’s second payment, and is paid monthly once your businesses are billing — we will confirm the schedule with you before your first payment. Worth knowing up front: a business gets a 30-day free trial and is then billed from the start of the following month, so their first payment is one to two months after signup and their second is around three months. Your setup fee does not wait for any of that: it is released once the funds settle, usually a couple of days after your own invoice is paid, and nothing else has to happen first.
Why does my share start at the second payment, not the first?
Because the second payment is where a business has decided to stay, and what decides it is how they were sold to. A business that someone sat down with, qualified and set up in person reaches that second payment far more often than one that arrived from an advert and signed up alone. Starting your share there is what pays for the difference. Your installation fee is not affected either way — the business has already paid you for that work.
What happens if a business cancels?
Your monthly share for that business stops, and it no longer counts toward your tier. Your installation fee is yours and is never clawed back. If a payment is refunded, disputed or reversed, only the share relating to that payment reverses.
Do I keep earning if I stop signing up new businesses?
Yes. Your share continues for as long as each business stays subscribed and you remain in good standing — which means answering escalations for your own businesses and doing a short annual re-check. The full terms, including what happens to your businesses if you leave, are in the partner agreement; read that section closely before you sign.
What do I tell the business I am?
Your own business, certified by Flex Rewards to set up and support their loyalty program. Their subscription is with Flex Rewards and billed separately by us; your installation and training is billed by you, at your price. That wording belongs on your invoice, and it is the plainest description of the arrangement anyway — you are an independent contractor, not part of Flex Rewards, and you cannot commit us to anything.
Do I need to be a loyalty or hospitality expert?
No. You need to be comfortable walking into a small business and talking to the owner. We train you on the product before you start, and there is a short quiz at the end of it.
What about Digital Passport — the town-wide programs?
Fully supported and fully paid: a Digital Passport campaign earns you a flat 25%, whatever tier you are on, and unlike the monthly share it counts from the first payment rather than the second. It builds up as each campaign invoice is collected and is paid in the monthly run. We do not recruit on it, because selling a district or a business association is a long, slow cycle and it would be dishonest to dangle it at someone starting out. If you land one, you get paid for it.
Which countries can apply?
Two different lists, and it is worth knowing both. The businesses you sign have to be in Singapore, Australia, New Zealand, the United States, Canada or the United Kingdom — that is a limit on opening the business account itself, not on you. Separately, we can pay partners in the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore and Malaysia. So living in Ireland and setting up businesses in the UK works; setting up Irish ones does not, yet. Apply from anywhere and we will tell you plainly which half applies to you before you do any work.
Will you sell to my businesses behind my back?
No. The businesses you introduce are recorded as yours from the day you set up their account, and your share is attached to them, not to a tracking link that expires.
