Partner Program
How agencies, dev shops, resellers, MSPs, and ISVs build, sell, and earn on the Topolo platform.
Program terms summarized on this page are indicative. Final commercial terms are set out in the Topolo partner agreement.
Why build and sell on Topolo
Topolo is one platform with a single sign-up that gives an organization access to a full suite of business applications — CRM, calendar, messaging, payments, forecasting, and more — on a shared runtime with one identity, one bill, and one set of controls.
For a partner, that shared foundation is the opportunity. Identity, billing, usage metering, payments, deployment, and hosting are already built and run by the platform. So when you build a custom application for a client on Topolo, you are not rebuilding plumbing — you are assembling on top of it. That collapses the cost and time of custom software and lets you deliver working applications in a fraction of the usual timeline.
You bring the customer relationship and the domain expertise. Topolo provides the platform the solution runs on. Both sides earn on an ongoing basis.
Who the program is for
- Build partners — agencies, dev shops, and systems integrators that build custom applications for clients on the Topolo platform.
- Resellers and MSPs — partners who sell Topolo to their customers and manage it for them as part of a broader service relationship.
- Referral partners — accountants, consultants, and complementary vendors who refer customers to Topolo.
- Template and ISV partners — partners who turn a build into a reusable application and publish it to the Topolo catalog for repeat distribution.
How partners earn
The program is designed so that the more value you deliver, the more you earn — across three revenue streams that can combine:
- You keep 100% of your services and build revenue. Topolo does not take a cut of the work you do for your clients. What you charge to design, build, and implement is yours.
- Recurring revenue share on the platform usage you originate. For accounts you bring to the platform, you earn an ongoing share of 20% of platform revenue (seats and usage) for the life of the relationship. Resellers and MSPs who prefer to own the customer billing relationship can instead take wholesale platform pricing and set their own retail price.
- Marketplace revenue for what you publish. Turn a solution into a reusable vertical application, list it in the Topolo catalog, and earn recurring revenue on every customer who installs it. Topolo takes a 20% platform share, so you keep 80% of every sale.
The model rewards both landing new customers and growing them over time.
What you get
- Sandbox and demo environments to build, test, and demonstrate on live platform tenants.
- SDK, documentation, and reference architectures for building on the platform runtime.
- Deal registration and protection so deals you source are yours — registered opportunities are protected from conflict.
- Partner directory listing and inbound referrals once you are certified.
- Co-marketing and co-selling support for strategic partners.

Engagement models across the ecosystem
Topolo supports a spectrum of ways customers get onto the platform, and partners have a clear, protected place in it:
- Self-serve — customers sign up and subscribe directly for the standard app suite.
- Rapid MVP — TopoloMVP is a fixed-fee, fast-turnaround service that delivers a working custom application starting at $1,000 with a one-week turnaround, built from platform primitives. It is the fastest demonstration of how quickly software ships on Topolo, and a common entry point that grows into larger builds.
- Partner-led builds — agencies, dev shops, and ISVs deliver custom and vertical applications for their clients. This is the core of the program.
- Flagship and enterprise — complex, high-touch solutions delivered by Topolo or by strategic partners.
Deal registration ensures that opportunities a partner sources are protected as the partner’s, regardless of engagement model.
