Partner FAQ
Is there a joining fee?
No. The Partner Program is free to join. You only pay for the containers you order.
Do I need a bonded warehouse?
Not for the Authorized or Preferred tiers. Elite and Strategic partners handling in-transit stock need bonded status.
Can I white-label the portal?
Elite and Strategic partners get a co-branded storefront on a custom subdomain.
How fast do rebates pay?
Net-15 monthly via ACH, SEPA, or Wise - whichever is fastest in your region.
