## How it works

Partners share one personalized link. EPD handles demos, detailed questions, processing guidance, and onboarding. The same partner link covers both processing options; partners do not need to choose a route for each business.

The current recruitment-page form collects partner interest. It does not create a partner account. The team follows up with next steps.

## Compensation

- A $100 one-time bounty for each referred business that becomes a qualifying paid EPD Commerce platform customer.
- A 20% share of processing residuals for the lifetime of the referred account.
- The 20% share is of processing residuals, not gross transaction volume.
- Eligibility and payouts follow the partner agreement.
- Required tax and payment information must be completed before payouts.

## Illustrative earnings calculator

The page models 10 qualifying businesses each processing $50,000 per month as $1,000 in one-time bounties plus an estimated $1,000 per month in residuals.

If those same businesses each process $100,000 per month, the example estimates $2,000 per month in residuals. Growth does not create additional signup bounties for the same accounts.

These are illustrative estimates, not guaranteed earnings or forecasts. Actual earnings depend on processing activity. Do not interpret these examples as a commission rate on gross processing volume or a guaranteed growth timeline.

## Payment options

Easy Pay Direct: Fully underwritten processing for established businesses, high-volume merchants, and harder-to-place businesses, with hands-on support.

Process Now: Auto-boarding for smaller, newer, and straightforward low-risk businesses. A simple way to start fast.

## Platform capabilities

- Create: Products, subscriptions, and AI-optimized pages with structured product information.
- Analyze: The Professor answers questions using transaction and integration data and can take supported business actions.
- React: Payment routing, retry schedules, payment reminders, and revenue recovery.
- Transact: Payments on existing websites and connected carts, branded payment links, and checkouts.

EPD Commerce helps businesses scale. As referred businesses process more, the resulting residuals and the partner's share can grow without adding new referrals.

## Resources and support

Approved partners receive a Partner Quick Start, channel-specific promotional copy, brand graphics, and Graphic Studio tools. Their partner portal provides referral, earnings, and payout information.
