What Partner.io is
Partner.io is an AI partner management platform for lean teams, bringing partner portals, deal registration, commissions, payouts, and CRM syncing together. Its branded portal runs on a customer’s own domain, where partners can refer leads, follow activity, and view commissions. Deal records track the partner, representative, status, and timeline. Commissions can be approved manually or by rule, and payouts run through Stripe with no Partner.io payout fee. The platform also offers AI course creation and certification, plus automated follow-ups, approvals, and email flows. Listed integrations include HubSpot, Pipedrive, Salesforce, Slack, Shopify, Stripe, Claude, and ChatGPT. Developer tools include a REST API, HMAC-signed webhooks, an MCP server with OAuth and 40+ tools, and embeddable widgets. Partner.io says it uses AWS hosting, encryption in transit and at rest, role-based access, two-factor authentication, and passwordless sign-in, and states that it is SOC 2 and GDPR compliant. The plan costs $79 a month per active seat, with unlimited partners. A 7-day trial is available; there is no free plan.
