Why partner

Integration hours end. Revenue share does not.

Clients keep asking for AI search, clean product data, agent visibility, and try-on. Today each one is a different vendor with a different contract, and the margin disappears into integration hours you cannot bill twice.

01

One integration, every client

Search, enrichment, agent-ready feeds, and try-on from one engine and one canonical schema. Learn it once, deploy it everywhere.

02

Recurring, not one-off

Every install you refer pays monthly for the length of the term, and the rev share scales as the merchant grows into higher tiers.

03

Inbound referrals

Merchants arrive at the directory looking for help. Certified partners enter the rotation and Premier partners get first look.

04

No app store queue

Custom install path for agency clients, so a launch date is never held up by someone else’s review backlog.

Program tiers

Three tiers, one bar: shipped work.

Tier is earned on live installs and certified people, not on a logo swap. Partners move up as they ship, and the tier they hold is what merchants see next to their name in the directory.

Certification

Earned by building, not by watching videos.

Certification is a credential your developers hold and keep, and it travels with them. There is no course and no multiple choice. You get a brief, you build against the playground catalog, and the platform grades what you actually did.

LEVEL 1

Certified Developer

Proves a developer can build on the platform unsupervised. The core credential, and the one that counts toward your agency reaching Certified tier.

What it takes

Working calls across four of the five capability groups, plus one timed build challenge graded on correctness, method, and call hygiene.

LEVEL 2

Certified Specialist

Per-capability badges in Search, Enrichment, Agent Feeds, and Try-On. Collect the ones that match the work you sell.

What it takes

Core certification plus a shorter challenge scoped to that one capability.

LEVEL 3

Certified Architect

The senior credential. Required for an agency to reach Premier, and the person a merchant asks for by name on a complex build.

What it takes

Two specialist badges, the advanced challenge, and named technical ownership of a live install running 90 days or longer.

Renewal: credentials run 12 months. Renewing is a short delta challenge covering only what shipped since you certified, so it stays current with the platform instead of testing a mental model from last year.
How to join

Four steps, no fee, no minimum spend.

The program costs nothing to join. What it asks for is shipped work and a merchant who will vouch for it.

01

Register your team

Every developer registers for a Starter seat. Free for life while the first 500 registrations last, no credit card. Paid tiers apply above Starter limits.

02

Certify a developer

One technical onboarding session and one build challenge against the playground catalog. Half a day, not a course.

03

Ship a live install

Take one merchant live through your co-branded install link so the install and the rev share are tagged to you automatically.

04

Move up a tier

Three installs, two certified developers, and a published case study puts your profile at the top of its category in the directory.

Common questions

Who owns the client relationship?

You do. visualAI does not sell around a partner on an account they brought. Inbound referrals flow the other direction, from us to you.

What happens if we already resell a competing tool?

Nothing. The program is not exclusive and never has been. Most partners run more than one stack across a client book.

How long does certification actually take?

A developer who has built one integration usually clears the challenge in under two hours. The 90-minute time box starts when they claim the brief, not when they register.

Do we lose the theme and integration work?

No. You bill the integration in full and keep all of it. Revenue share sits on top of your own invoice rather than replacing it.

What if a client churns?

Revenue share stops with the subscription, and nothing is clawed back. Retention is part of how tier is measured, which is why the program rewards keeping clients rather than collecting them.

Charter terms are open to the first 10 agencies.

30% recurring for 12 months, 100% of theme integration billing kept, and first look at inbound merchant referrals. The standard program that follows is 20% for 12 months.
