Partner Program · Founding 100 now open

The first partner program where you own the customer, we ship the order, and you earn double digits on every printed unit.

Most platforms rent you an audience and pay you crumbs. We do the opposite. You bring the relationship, the taste, or the traffic. We handle printing, fulfillment, payments, tax forms, and 2 a.m. shipping questions. The customer stays yours. The margin is real. The rate card is public. You get paid every week through Stripe.

Two ways to partner

Do two things well, not nine things badly.

We're not a generic design tool + a template marketplace + a print-on-demand marketplace + a promo-products catalog rolled into one. We're focused: a Campaign Marketplace where you sell finished print solutions, and an Agency White-Label where you run your shop on our presses.

Wedge 01

Campaign Marketplace

Sell finished, done-for-you campaign bundles and digital assets to small businesses who need results, not a DIY design tutorial. Upload a template, package a Real Estate Growth Campaign, or build an AI prompt pack — list it once, earn on every sale, forever.

  • 70/30 split on digital assets on first sale, scaling to 80/20 for top quartile
  • 15–25% partner share on every printed unit that ships from your listing (18% baseline)
  • 20% partner share on net for full Campaign Packages (Real Estate, Restaurant Grand Opening, Political, Nonprofit)
Wedge 02

Agency White-Label

Run your shop. Use our presses, fulfillment, dashboards, and Stripe rails — branded as you. Your client never sees our logo. You quote, we produce, you keep the relationship and the lion's share of the margin.

  • 30% of gross profit on every white-label client order (profit math shown line-by-line in your dashboard)
  • +5% exclusivity bonus if Inkgility is your sole production partner
  • Tiered performance bonuses up to +10% at $25k monthly volume, plus quarterly profit-pool distributions

The economics in one glance

Published rates. No mystery royalty pools.

Generic design tools and template marketplaces pool royalties opaquely. Big print-on-demand marketplaces advertise "5–99%" but anything above 10% triggers fees that suppress sales. We publish exact rates with worked examples.

Total stacked partner share is capped at 28% of gross order revenue so the unit economics stay honest. Founding 100 partners are exempt from this cap.

What makes this different

Three things our competitors structurally cannot copy.

01

Double-digit physical-goods royalties

Print-on-demand marketplaces effectively pay ~7% on POD. Generic design tools pay pooled pennies. We pay 15–25% on every printed unit — because we own the production stack and the customer relationship at the same time.

02

You own the customer

Handmade marketplaces give you the customer but make you ship. Print-on-demand marketplaces ship but take the customer. We're the only platform that does both. You keep the relationship; we handle the press.

03

One ledger, eight tracks

Same partner account earns as designer + referrer + reseller + agency + ambassador. Design marketplaces, affiliate-platform tools, and print-on-demand marketplaces each own one persona. We span all eight in one weekly payout.

FAQ

The questions you'll actually ask.

How much can I realistically earn?
Depends on which track. Strong template-selling designers clear $800–$6k/month per active SKU. Influencers running $200 AOV referrals clear $1k–$10k/month. Agencies in our white-label pilot clear $4k–$22k/month.
How and when do I get paid?
Stripe Connect Express, weekly. $25 minimum payout. 7-day hold for refund window. W-9 (US) or W-8BEN (international) collected at onboarding via Stripe Tax. 1099-NEC issued each January for US partners earning $600+.
Is it really free to join?
Free to apply, no upfront cost, no monthly fees, no listing fees. Stripe's standard processing (2.9% + $0.30 in US) is pass-through and disclosed upfront. We don't take application fees, theme fees, or "premium tier" fees.
Can I cancel?
Anytime. Earned commissions are paid out. Existing referral attribution stays in your account during its 24-month window. Your designs and any campaign packages can be unlisted or transferred.
What about IP — who owns what I upload?
You own your IP. You grant Inkgility a license to host, market, fulfill, and print it. Buyers receive a standard license (or extended commercial license at a higher tier). Full marketplace-style license framework published in the Partner Agreement.
What about taxes?
Stripe Tax collects W-9/W-8BEN at onboarding and issues 1099-NECs automatically. We use track1099 / Stripe Tax for US, and the Stripe Tax engine for VAT/GST handling in EU/UK/AU.
What's the catch?
The 28% stacked-take cap exists so the math stays sustainable on whale accounts — without it, top creators can stack 35%+ on a 40% margin and the platform loses money on the orders most worth promoting. Founding 100 partners are exempt from this cap.
When does the program launch?
Founding 100 applications are open now. Approved partners are onboarded continuously. Public launch follows once Phase 1 infrastructure (Stripe Connect, ledger, attribution, dashboard) is live — soft-launch end of Q1 to invited partners only, full public Q2.
